(try this if you get a 404 error for an individual Ubuntu image)

docker pull ubuntu

docker pull ubuntu:12.10

docker pull ubuntu:12.04

docker pull opensuse:latest

and tags

docker pull opensuse:13.1

Thanks to @backjlack

docker pull centos

docker pull busybox

docker pull tianon/gentoo:latest

Note that this image is somewhat limited, being that it is simply a faithful copy of the stage3 tarball (see also #313). Including a copy of the portage tree would increase the image size by an appreciable amount, and would become stale quickly.

docker run -p :6379 -p :80 samalba/hipache supervisord -n

This will launch a supervisord in foreground which spawns an Hipache daemon (using the dev config, but easy to change) + redis-server.

The redis-server is spawned inside the same container on purpose. Current Hipache's architecture does not share a Redis among several machines, but among several Hipache's workers in the same machine.

Container source is available in the Hipache's repos: https://github.com/dotcloud/hipache/blob/master/Dockerfile

docker run -d -p 5900 creack/firefox-vnc x11vnc -forever -usepw -create

This will launch a VNC server and when a client connects to it, it starts Firefox. The default password is 1234
