AusweisApp2 in Docker (Linux)

This docker image contains a minimal OS (AlpineLinux) as a base image.

It builds Qt6 and OpenSSL with the cmake library-script of AusweisApp2 and builds AusweisApp2 itself.

Also it contains pcscd with some additional card reader driver.

Start

You could start AusweisApp2 with this command:

::

docker run --name ausweisapp -p 127.0.0.1:24727:24727 -e DISPLAY=$DISPLAY -e LANG=$LANG -v /tmp/.X11-unix:/tmp/.X11-unix --privileged aklitzing/ausweisapp2

• --privileged is required for pcscd to access card reader. You could try to bind usb devices to container with -v /dev/bus/usb:/dev/bus/usb instead. Be aware that the usb device must be connected before the container is started! This is a limitation by -v.

If you are not familiar with Docker. You can add -d to docker run to detach from terminal and avoid logging of AusweisApp2. After you created a container and stopped it you can start it with docker start ausweisapp if you used the provided name.

Troubleshooting

• I need a proxy

  • Just add -e http_proxy=PROXY:PORT -e https_proxy=PROXY:PORT to docker run cmdline.

• I need AusweisApp2 in English or German.

  • Change -e LANG=$LANG to -e LANG=de or -e LANG=en.

• Window of AusweisApp2 is black/faulted.

  • Looks like an OpenGL issue. Try to grab the border of the window and resize it. Sometimes it will refresh the buffers and repaint the window correctly.

• Container ends immediately

  • Maybe you need to allow local access to your X-Server by xhost local:root.

    | No protocol specified | QXcbConnection: Could not connect to display :0 | Aborted (core dumped)

• Container ends with Could not load the Qt platform plugin "xcb" in "" even though it was found.

  • Add -e QT_DEBUG_PLUGINS=1 to get more logging of Qt.

• My card reader is not recognized

  • The container has ccid, pcsc-cyberjack and acsccid drivers installed. Try to install another driver by your own and tell me how you did it. So I can add it to AlpineLinux and to next docker images. See next bullet point.

• I need to modify the container

  • You can jump into a shell of running container with docker exec -ti ausweisapp /bin/sh and modify it by your needs. You can use sudo as well without a password to get root access.

  • Also you could derive your own Dockerfile from this image by FROM aklitzing/ausweisapp2.

• Is this an official version?

  • NO! You cannot ask Governikus for support!

  • If you don't need a GUI you should try the official Container SDK: https://www.ausweisapp.bund.de/sdk/container.html
