[Project] ChromeOS Flex in a Docker (dockur) container: KVM accel + GPU + browser viewer, no manual QEMU setup

I needed to test something on ChromeOS, but didnt want to pull out any other hardware. I have used Dockur windows/mac containers for years, so I packaged Chromeos flex into a similar Dockur style container that does it all for you.

It's built on the same qemus/qemu base as dockur/windows and dockur/macos, so it'll feel familiar if you've used them.

What it does:

• Auto-downloads the current Flex recovery image at startup
• KVM acceleration out of the box
• Auto-detects your GPU and sets up hardware rendering, so no 3 fps software-rendering slideshow
• Browser-based viewer on port 8006

Basically one compose file:

yaml

services: chromeos: image: forkymcforkface/chromeos container_name: chromeos environment: VERSION: "stable" GPU: "Y" devices: - /dev/kvm - /dev/net/tun device_cgroup_rules: - "c 226:* rwm" cap_add: - NET_ADMIN ports: - 8006:8006 volumes: - ./chromeos:/storage - /dev/dri:/dev/dri:rw restart: always 

Bring it up, open localhost:8006, click through the installer once, and it boots straight to the login screen after that.

Feedback welcome, especially on what breaks on other hardware.
