Now, you can run DOS, Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows 98 SE, and Windows XP in a container!
"WINDOWS98 IN A CONTAINER")
RetroArch in a container typically requires that you have some kind of specialized client to play the games over the network. Not anymore. This implementation uses a web browser as the client without the need for anything else installed on your client.
The implementation is pretty straightforward. You can run it locally, or run it on a cloud-hosted service, like Azure Container Instances or Azure Kubernetes Services. In any case, you'll probably want to allocate at least 2 Gigs of RAM and 2 CPUs to make things run smoothly -- more for more graphic-intense emulators.
If you want to build it, simply clone the repo and run Docker Build.
docker build -t 86box .
Alternately, you can pull the image from Docker Hub.
docker pull blaize/86box
To run this locally, run a Docker command:
docker run -v /path/to/your/isos:/isos -p 80:80 blaize/86box
Once the container is running, point your browser to the IP address or host name of your Docker environment. Retroarch has a basic install here.
