Developing Custom Applications for Panda

Panda is a built-in mechanism for running applications in isolated Docker containers, a replacement for RemoteApp.

Most often, Panda is used to access web applications — Panda launches a container with Chrome, automatically opens the required website, and logs in to it.

By default, Chrome and DBeaver are available for publishing, but you can also create your own applications to publish in Panda.

Structure of a Panda Applet (SQL Developer Example)

A virtual application is a Linux container with VNC.
Panda passes environment variables with authentication data (JMS_TOKEN).

Example structure:

Sql Developer/
├── docker-compose.yml
├── Dockerfile
├── entrypoint.sh
├── sqldeveloper-23.1.1.345.2114-no-jre.zip
├── .config/dconf/user
├── app/bin/start-vnc.sh
├── app/bin/start-xvfb.sh
└── etc/supervisor/app.conf

docker-compose.yml:
