Vendetta Online in a Docker container

Use case: Easy to install on systems that do not follow FHS (Filesystem Hierarchy Standard). Tested on NixOS. Guix users tell your experience.

Steps:

  1. Download client installer into ~/.vendetta
  2. Clone the repo
  3. Build the container:
docker build -t vo .
  1. Run xhost +local: to allow the container to use GUI.
  2. Run the container:
docker run -it --rm -e DISPLAY=$DISPLAY -e ALSA_CARD=sofhdadsp --device /dev/snd --device /dev/dri/card0 -v /tmp/.X11-unix/:/tmp/.X11-unix/ -v /home/user/.vendetta:/root/.vendetta vo

First time only: Install the client 6. Play as usual.

Next time onwards you just need to follow steps 6 and 7 (and 5 if you shut down your computer).

Known issues:

  1. You cannot write into ~/.vendetta as unprivileged user on host machine. This is by design. You can always place plugins as root or use the container to do the same.

Possible issues:

  1. You might not get sound. To fix it, run aplay -l in the container and use whatever card it displays next time you run the container. Put the value in ALSA_CARD.
  2. If you have a dedicated GPU, you might consider passing --gpus all to the docker run command. It should use dGPU. I have not tested it.
