asbru-cm-dockerfile

Introduction:

Ásbrú Connection Manager is a fork of PAC Manager. See its details in its github page: https://github.com/asbru-cm/asbru-cm

I use it to manage my ssh connections. It is an alternative application to mRemoteNG or MobaXterm.

Advantages of Ásbrú Connection Manager:

• It is free and open-source.
• No limitations.
• Automatic commands can be defined for each SSH connection.

Unfortunately, Ásbrú Connection Manager is a Linux-only application. So, I created this dockerfile to use it on Windows.

Instructions:

Windows (with WSL enabled):

• We need X server to run X server GUI applications on Windows. Install VcXsrv Windows X Server: https://sourceforge.net/projects/vcxsrv/
• Double click config.xlaunch file in this repository (This will launch VcXsrv Windows X Server)
• Edit firstrun.bat and change "1.2.3.4 IP" with your local IP
• Run firstrun.bat in this repository directory (This will create our docker container.)
• Close asbru
• Now you can use run.bat to run asbru faster

Linux:

• Run run.sh (Warning: Run it in this repository directory)
