Run Windows apps such as Microsoft Office/Adobe in Linux (Ubuntu/Fedora) and GNOME/KDE as if they were a part of the native OS, including Nautilus integration. Hard fork of https://github.com/Fmst...
Yah, I dinked with this for far too long on several docker-based windows installs I have around the network including localhost on a non-standard port. Fails to set up and gives no messages to follow up when it does. I can connect to them fine with a normal xfreerdp command.
docker based windows install ? How ? windows in qemu in docker ?
office in wine in docker and somehow exporting display to wayland ?
How does that work ?
I’ve been using the same windows/dockur setup for a couple years that they outline in the Winapp docs. It uses KVM via a docker cap you give it permission for in the docker compose.
It should work with this Winapp thing, but I haven’t gotten much success so far trying to connect it. I’ve just been RDPing into them but I’d have liked to just pull the relevant windows alone, more like Terminal Service Applications.
Thanks !
I’ve never heard of that one
I had investigated distrobuilder in repack-windows mode
This sounds like a similar version of that with docker instead of lxc ?
I’m really curious to find some way to have just an application being streamed from one of those, instead of a whole desktop. Like just the application window, resizable like a regular window and using the decorations of the receiving OS

The config files need to be just right for this to work. It took a little fiddling at first but it works on Kubuntu 25.04 for the last few months.
