⁠Please build image instead of pulling it

docker hub does not provide automated builds for free anymore. So this image is becoming old and outdated. Instead of pulling this image, please build it locally yourself. x11docker can do this for you with:

x11docker --build x11docker/fluxbox

⁠Example commands:

• Full desktop: x11docker --desktop fluxbox
• Single application: x11docker x11docker/fluxbox eterm

⁠Extend base image

To add your desired applications, create your own Dockerfile with this image as a base. Example:

FROM x11docker/fluxbox
RUN apt-get update
RUN apt-get install -y firefox-esr
