docker-wine

This repository contains a definition of a Docker image with wine 5.0 installed.

Its primary purpose is to be used to run 32-bit Windows applications.

The image is based on i386/debian:buster-slim, which is 32-bit Debian Buster (Debian 10).

While it's possible to build this image using 64-bit architecture and to run 32-bit apps in it, wine still will require 32-bit dependencies, which will just double the image size. Hence, for the sake of space usage, 32-bit architecture is used inside of the container.

Public builds

This Docker image is available as il2horusteam/wine at Docker Hub:

docker pull il2horusteam/wine

Build Args

The image has several arguments which can be changed during the build time:

Arg Name	Default Value	Description
WINEVERSION	5.0	Version of wine to install
WINEUID	999	UID to use for the user wine
WINEGID	999	GID to use for the user wine

Deliverables

The image provides:

• wine of version 5.0 installed in 32-bit runtime.

• wine group.

• wine user belonging to the wine group with home dir at /home/wine. No login shell.

• Configured 32-bit wine prefix at /home/wine/.wine32.
