browservice VS docker-firefox

Browservice - proxy but goes one step further and renders the page and actually only sends back a clickable image to the browser on the old machine. Almost like screensharing.

I have a [Browservice](https://github.com/ttalvitie/browservice) server set up for the faster machines, which basically streams images, and a [retroproxy](https://github.com/humbertocsjr/retroproxy) service for the slower machines :)

Original iMac G3 (the very first) running Mac OS X 10.1 and Netscape 7.01. The magic comes from this program : https://github.com/ttalvitie/browservice

Browservice may be suitable if you have to use IE6 and you're OK using a proxy system.

"browservice" will render web pages server-side and then deliver them to your browser as an image with simple javascript.

It works in virtually all "old" browsers and can be very useful for older computers.

TL;DR: Read the entirety of Readme.md (it's at the bottom of https://github.com/ttalvitie/browservice). If you still have specific questions, i'll try to help.

Check out browservice; either run it on your host, or in another VM.

A 4th gen i7, the VM gets 2.3 GB, but I've done similarly stupid stuff on an AMD Athlon 64 (sluggish but usable, 720p YT dropping frames but watchable). Browservice running in a VM to serve XP's IE8 is another fun Goldbergian trick.

Here's a Firefox version. It won't be any better for quality/performance though. https://github.com/jlesage/docker-firefox

I use Apache for my primary web server accessed through 80/443, and I need to set up a reverse proxy to a Docker container. Specifically, I'm trying to set up a reverse proxy for this Firefox image so I can use it on the go.

There was a project on here a while back where you could basically host a Firefox instance on a VPS somewhere and use it over the web (reddit post about it). It was pretty cool. It was for use for things like private browsing anywhere you want. Something like that could push Orb into an area where it would be useful for folks with use-cases like that, and not just people with NAS/servers to manage.

I have setup Firefox docker that I can access from my nginx server. It's just normal https traffic so won't be blocked in a corporate environment. You might want to firewall it off from the rest of your network somehow and definitely add access controls to it. Works surprisingly well though

But let me clarify my question: let's say I'd like to run Firefox on docker and would need to be able to access it remotely. I could use a pre-built image like docker-firefox. But how can I verify that the Firefox that's included in this image has not been tampered with? Is there a way? If not, is there a (simpl-ish) way to download Firefox off mozilla.org and put it in a docker container together with a remote desktop server or a web server? Or would a simple Linux VM be the easier way?

The Firefox image (https://github.com/jlesage/docker-firefox/blob/master/Dockerfile) then installs Firefox, fonts and other tools.

I want to create docker image of Ungoogled Chromium, with a webUI for accessing the browser, similar to QNAP's Browser Station and this docker image of firefox.
