Run an image locally #

If you have a desktop environment running on your host, you can run the built image without even using Wolf.
Here’s an example of running Steam inside Docker on a Wayland host without installing anything else on your host:

docker run --name=steam --rm -it \
--device=/dev/dri/renderD128 \
--device=/dev/dri/card0 \
--ipc=host \
--cap-add=ALL \
--security-opt seccomp=unconfined \
-e XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=/tmp \
-v ${XDG_RUNTIME_DIR}/${WAYLAND_DISPLAY}:/tmp/${WAYLAND_DISPLAY}:rw \
-e XDG_SESSION_TYPE=wayland \
-e WAYLAND_DISPLAY=${WAYLAND_DISPLAY} \
-e RUN_SWAY=true \
-v /tmp/SteamGOWData:/home/retro/ \
ghcr.io/games-on-whales/steam:edge

Note:
Depending on your host setup, you might need to adjust this command.
For example, for Nvidia users with the container toolkit installed you might need to add --gpus=all instead of --device=/dev/dri/renderD128 --device=/dev/dri/card0 and -e NVIDIA_DRIVER_CAPABILITIES=all to the environment variables.
In the command above /tmp/SteamGOWData in your host is where the home folder (containing Steam client and settings in this example) will be stored, make sure to adjust that to your liking.
