Following the initial rollout of our new technology stack for desktop images, we have reached a significant milestone in stability. After several months of development focused on bug fixes and community-driven feature requests, we have resolved all major issues and are now shifting our focus to refi...

This guide should work with most mini PCs, but the one used for this guide was purchased to test DRI3 support and performance for our internal patched XVFB. The specific model is here; it cost $120 on sale, and similar N100 or N150 builds can generally be found at this price point. This is not a...

Sunsetting Legacy Images and Embracing a New Era

We are announcing an evolution in our Docker image catalog, which includes the sunsetting of several legacy images. This focused approach allows us to concentrate our development efforts on a significantly more modern, robust, and feature-rich platf...

For years, we've dreamed of running full-fledged Linux desktop applications seamlessly within a web browser. While solutions exist, they often come with a hefty price: sluggish performance, high server costs, or a dependency on powerful, specialized hardware. Today, we're unveiling a new approach, a...

If you're like me (you run a home server with varying levels of personal data on it, but you're a bit lazy) you'll probably want to set up some kind of backup routine to ensure your data has an acceptable level of redundancy. Let's ignore RAID solutions for now (which is of course a valid first port...

Docker Security Practices

We often get asked how to secure docker and what are good practices for running containers securely.

First, we need to understand the possible attack vectors:

• Insecurely exposed - the most common attack vector, users often expose the Web-UI of apps without securing...

Introducing Linuxserver API

We'd like to introduce our new API available under:

• https://api.linuxserver.io/
• https://docs.linuxserver.io/API/

It currently has a single endpoint under /api/v1/images for obtaining information about our images, it gets updated several times a day, and all...

Securing SWAG

SWAG is a reverse proxy that allows you to expose your self-hosted apps to the world, but that comes with risks.

We can mitigate some risks by fine-tuning SWAG and how we access it:

• Prevent accessing some apps via the internet while exposing others.
• Set up brute-force protec...

Update

A big thank you to all the people who reached out offering to help us get in touch with somebody at Docker to get this resolved. With your assistance we've been able to speak with their Developer Relations team and fix our issues with the DSOS application process. With the best will in the...
