Docker container for SteamOS 2.148

[Shark]

As a side-project I've build a docker image which is a fresh SteamOS 2.148 installation. Believe me, I've checked, it has the same packages.

Use it for whatever you like, you can find it here: https://hub.docker.com/r/sharkwouter/steamos/

If you have docker installed on your machine, you can pull it with the following command:

docker pull sharkwouter/steamos

You can use it with:

docker run -ti sharkwouter/steamos /bin/bash

For people interested, I build it with this awful script: https://github.com/sharkwouter/steamos-container-creator

Nice one. Thanks for sharing.

I wonder how well https://aws.amazon.com/getting-started/tutorials/launch-a-virtual-machine/ and your docker image perform!?

PC gaming without owning any PC hardware is a very cool concept, not just from cost saving line of thought but from technological perspective.

Neat! I'm gonna try it out. Thanks for sharing.

So is the idea behind this to do some test cases for steaming gameplay say from a Amazon server to a laptop / tablet?

I think it's cool either way, I think developers would benefit from having a SteamOS Gamer version and also a SteamOS Developer version which has devtools installed liked Unity Engine, Unreal and other tools.

In many cases Linux can simply be dd'd to a disk, plugged into any computer and work, so I imagine with VM's it could easily be the same.

@Shark -- Your Dockerfile for this repo refers to "FROM brewmaster-base". Where is that base image? I cannot find it in the repo or on Dockerhub. Without it I think the Dockerfile / repo cannot be used to build a new container...?

Sorry for the really late reply, but this script generates it: https://github.com/sharkwouter/steamos-container-creator/blob/master/setup-chroot.sh
