I’ve been looking for something “official” from the Librewolf team regarding running Librewolf in Docker, but I haven’t found much. There are a few initiatives that seem to support Librewolf Docker containers (eg Github, Docker Hub), but they don’t seem to be referenced much nor heavily used. However, maybe the reason I don’t see it much is that there are better ways to achieve what I’m looking for.

  • Better separation from daily OS environment and regular browsing environment
  • Ability to run multiple instances privacy friendly browser and isolate each instance for particular use cases
  • Configure each instance to be run over different VPNs (or no VPN at all)

Is there a way to best achieve this?

    All great points. What I was really hoping to do was something like container A for VPN 1, container B for VPN 2, container C for VPN 3, etc. while my desktop is on a separate VPN. I don’t think this could easily be achieved with different profiles or browsers. I could achieve this with VMs but hadn’t considered it too much yet.

    I know Docker images arent usually for GUI applications, but I was really hoping to find something similar to https://github.com/linuxserver/docker-firefox but for LibreWolf. I would be fine with using Firefox if I could figure out how to use uBlockOrigin and Arkenfox with the image by default.
