docker-firefox VS geek-cookbook

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.

I encourage you to look him up on Twitter (for some great shots of his awesome homelab), check out his work at GitHub, spend some time poking around his blog, and you definitely don't want to miss the Geek Cookbook. If you swing him a couple of bucks a month via GitHub Sponsors or his Patreon Page, he'll also give you access to his private premix repository which contains everything you need to get any of the apps in the cookbook up and running within minutes!

You gotta check out the https://github.com/geek-cookbook/geek-cookbook it will explain and show you two ways (kubernetes and docker-swarm) of solving your problem.

That was back in 2012.. 10 years later, I'm all-in on containers, orchestration (docker-swarm or Kubernetes) and "GitOps". Along the way, I decided to document my setup / decisions, and this documentation effort has become "Funky Penguin's Geek Cookbook", a trusted guide to configuring a consistent, highly-available Docker Swarm, ensuring that your self-hosted apps are always running, updated, and reproducible.

Great, thanks for the feedback! I've updated the text to be clearer.

My second job is building a community of geeks who also enjoy the Docker / Kubernetes / Container / Self-hosted life :)

Wow, that does look good. I have a weekend project too :) (https://github.com/geek-cookbook/geek-cookbook/issues/224)

There is a great intro to gitops at https://geek-cookbook.funkypenguin.co.nz/
