TomTom Sports Connect Container

This is an effort to run TomTom Sports Connect from within a Docker container.

TomTom Sports Connect is a desktop application required to update TomTom Adventurer sports watch, which is available and maintained for Microsoft Windows and MacOS operating systems.

There's also an unofficial Linux version (.deb) tested on Ubuntu 14.04 and 16.04. It was also reported to work on Ubuntu 17.04, 17.10, 18.04 and Mint 18 (follow the discussion).

This is my effort to make TomTom Sports Connect run on all Linux systems.

How it works

Host machine /tmp/.X11-unix socket and /dev/bus/usb devices are shared with a docker container runnnig TomTom Sports Connect unofficial Linux version allowing TomTom Sports Connect usage wherever there's a running docker instance.

How to use

1. Clone this repo

   $ git clone https://github.com/PauloASilva/TomTomSportsConnect && cd TomTomSportsConnect
   

2. Build docker image

   $ docker build -t tomtomsc:latest .
   

3. Run TomTom Sports Connect

   $ ./TomTomSportsConnect
   

   optionally you can run the container yourself

   $ docker run -it \
       --privileged \
       -v /tmp/.X11-unix:/tmp/.X11-unix \
       -v /dev/bus/usb:/dev/bus/usb \
       -v $HOME/TomTom\ Sports:/root/TomTom\ Sports \
       -v $HOME/.local/share/TomTom/:/root/.local/share/TomTom/ \
       -v /etc/localtime:/etc/localtime:ro \
       -e DISPLAY=unix$DISPLAY \
       --name tomtomsc \
       --rm \
       tomtomsc:latest
   

   Note: you may have to disable X access control to get the X11 forwarded. To do so run $ xhost + before running TomTomSportsConnect or docker run

Caveats

• X access control (xhost needs to be disabled)

  $ xhost +
