docker-firefox VS docker-ubuntu-vnc-desktop

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.

Of course you can run a full Linux Desktop in Docker, you can access the GUI with a remote tool like VNC. docker-ubuntu-vnc-desktop is even accessible from a browser.

its surprisingly easy to do. I will create a video guide for this as well as a blog article. A good start is to take https://github.com/fcwu/docker-ubuntu-vnc-desktop and set-up OBS + WebSockets in there. Then add my tool and you‘re all set for IRL streams.

Currently use this https://github.com/fcwu/docker-ubuntu-vnc-desktop

Gonna try it later, now I'm using https://github.com/fcwu/docker-ubuntu-vnc-desktop But guacamole sounds also interesting.
