Docker container as default application - docker

I have Firefox nightly running in a container. I'm looking for a solution to configure it as my default browser application(ubuntu 18.04).
So my question is, how to configure a Docker container as default system application in Ubuntu.
My docker command is:
docker run -d --net=host -v ~/:/home/firefox -v /tmp/.X11-unix:/tmp/.X11-unix \
-e DISPLAY=unix:0 -v /dev/shm:/dev/shm --device /dev/snd \
--group-add 29 -e PULSE_SERVER=unix:/run/user/1000/pulse/native \
-v /run/user/1000/pulse/native:/run/user/1000/pulse/native \
firefox-nightly
I suppose I must create a new mime file, but not sure how to do it, to be able to create the container with all these parameters.
Thanks

One alternative is to create a new .desktop file (e.g: /usr/share/applications/firefox-docker.desktop).
I just copied the existing firefox.desktop and changed Exec sections with the command using docker (*)
Then use xdg-utils (**) configure it as default browser application:
xdg-settings set default-web-browser firefox-docker.desktop.
*: To keep the .desktop file cleaner, you could create an executable file in system PATH (e.g: /usr/bin): docker-firefox:
xhost +
docker run --net=host -v ~/:/home/firefox -v /tmp/.X11-unix:/tmp/.X11-unix \
-e DISPLAY=unix:0 -v /dev/shm:/dev/shm --device /dev/snd \
--group-add 29 -e PULSE_SERVER=unix:/run/user/1000/pulse/native \
-v /run/user/1000/pulse/native:/run/user/1000/pulse/native \
firefox-nightly $#
Note the $# at the end. And make it executable so it can be executed as a normal application.
**: The link is from Arch documentation, but it works in Ubuntu as well.

Setting up Jenkins pipline to allow docker commands in shell [duplicate]

I have a Jenkins running as a docker container, now I want to build a Docker image using pipeline, but Jenkins container always tells Docker not found.

In your Jenkins interface go to "Manage Jenkins/Global Tool Configuration"
Then scroll down to Docker Installations and click "Add Docker". Give it a name like "myDocker"
Make sure to check the box which says "Install automatically". Click "Add Installer" and select "Download from docker.com". Leave "latest" in the Docker version. Make sure you click Save.
In your Jenkinsfile add the following stage before you run any docker commands:
stage('Initialize'){
def dockerHome = tool 'myDocker'

As pointed by Guillaume Husta, this jpetazzo's blog article discourages this technique:
Former versions of this post advised to bind-mount the docker binary from the host to the container. This is not reliable anymore, because the Docker Engine is no longer distributed as (almost) static libraries.
Docker client should be installed inside a container as described here. Also, jenkins user should be in docker group, so execute following:
$ docker exec -it -u root my-jenkins /bin/bash
# usermod -aG docker jenkins
and finally restart my-jenkins container.
Original answer:
You could use host's docker engine like in this #Adrian Mouat blog article.
docker run -d \
--name my-jenkins \
-v /var/jenkins_home:~/.jenkins \
-v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock \
-p 8080:8080 jenkins
This avoids having multiple docker engine version on host and jenkins container.
The problem is in your Jenkins, it isn't capable to use the docker engine, even if you do install the docker from the plugin manager. From what I got researching there are some alternatives to workaround this issue:
1: Build a image using some docker image with pre-installed docker in it like provided by getintodevops/jenkins-withdocker:lts
2: Build the images from jenkins/jenkins mounting the volumes to your host then install the docker all by yourself by creating another container with same volumes and executing the bash cmd to install the docker or using Robert suggestion
docker run -p 8080:8080 -p 50000:50000 -v $HOME/.jenkins/:/var/jenkins_home
-v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock jenkins/jenkins:latest
or 3: The most simple, just add the installed docker path from your host machine to be used by your jenkins container with: -v $(which docker):/usr/bin/docker
Your docker command should look like this:
docker run \
--name jenkins --rm \
-u root -p 8080:8080 -p 50000:50000 \
-v $(which docker):/usr/bin/docker\
-v $HOME/.jenkins/:/var/jenkins_home
-v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock \

podman not running container in quay setup in centos9

I am setting up quay in a vm with centos distro. This is the guide I am following: quay deploy guide
once I install Podman I am trying to run first container with below command:
I set up this env variable:
export QUAY=QUAY
and made a dir of same name in home:
mkdir QUAY
once I install Podman I am trying to run first container with below command:
$ sudo podman run -d --rm --name postgresql-quay \
-e POSTGRESQL_USER=quayuser \
-e POSTGRESQL_PASSWORD=quaypass \
-e POSTGRESQL_DATABASE=quay \
-e POSTGRESQL_ADMIN_PASSWORD=adminpass \
-p 5432:5432 \
-v $QUAY/postgres-quay:/var/lib/pgsql/data:Z \
registry.redhat.io/rhel8/postgresql-10:1
and I am getting following error:
sudo podman run -d --rm --name postgresql-quay -e POSTGRESQL_USER=quayuser -e POSTGRESQL_PASSWORD=quaypass -e POSTGRESQL_DATABASE=quay -e POSTGRESQL_ADMIN_PASSWORD=adminpass -p 5432:5432 -v QUAY/postgres-quay:/var/lib/pgsql/data:Z registry.redhat.io/rhel8/postgresql-10:1
Error: error creating named volume "QUAY/postgres-quay": error running volume create option: names must match [a-zA-Z0-9][a-zA-Z0-9_.-]*: invalid argument
The bind mount needs to be specified as an absolute path or a relative path that starts with ./ or ../.
In other words instead of
-v QUAY/postgres-quay:/var/lib/pgsql/data:Z
use
-v ./QUAY/postgres-quay:/var/lib/pgsql/data:Z
(I replaced $QUAY with its value QUAY)
