Attention

This crazy idea to run GUI applications in the Docker container, but unfortunately I did not find another way to run Tixati on the server. Use this image only on servers without a desktop environment. If your server has a DE, use the installer from the official site.

Volumes

• /home/tixati/Desktop/downloads - directory with downloaded files;
• /home/tixati/Desktop/torrent-files - directory with torrent files;
• /home/tixati/.tixati - directory with tixati profile.

Run in daemon mode

Run the container named tixati_1 in daemon mode and mount the specified volumes to the specified directories of the host machine:

docker run -d --name tixati_1 \
    -p 5900:5900 \
    -p 29939:29939 \
    -v $(pwd)/downloads:/home/tixati/Desktop/downloads \
    -v $(pwd)/torrent-files:/home/tixati/Desktop/torrent-files kyzimaspb/tixati

Forwarded ports:

• 5900 - TCP port for connecting VNC clients;
• 29939 - TCP/UDP port for peer connections and messages (see the configuration of your Tixati or remember to change after run).

Environment Variables

• ATTEMPTS_COUNT - the number of attempts to start each service;
• XVFB_RESOLUTION - screen resolution of the virtual X server;
• VNC_SERVER_PASSWORD - the password for the VNC server.

Autostart with a password

Automatically start the container at system startup with the password qwe123 to connect to the VNC server:

docker run -d --name tixati_1 --restart always \
    -p 5900:5900 \
    -p 29939:29939 \
    -e VNC_SERVER_PASSWORD=qwe123 \
    -v $(pwd)/downloads:/home/tixati/Desktop/downloads \
    -v $(pwd)/torrent-files:/home/tixati/Desktop/torrent-files kyzimaspb/tixati

Resource limits

You can use all resource limits available for the docker run command. For example, limit the amount of RAM:

docker run -d --name tixati_1 --restart always \
    -m 512M \
    -p 5900:5900 \
    -p 29939:29939 \
    -e VNC_SERVER_PASSWORD=qwe123 \
    -v $(pwd)/downloads:/home/tixati/Desktop/downloads \
    -v $(pwd)/torrent-files:/home/tixati/Desktop/torrent-files kyzimaspb/tixati
