I hacked out this Docker container if your interested. It will work for now I think while you sort something out. Not ideal, but it seems to work. The program loads anyway.

https://gitlab.com/jmgibson1981/home...er/bzrexplorer

The README.txt file in this page says:

To Run

docker run -id --restart-always -h bzr --name bzr -p 44444:44444 "$IMAGENAME"

To Access

ssh -X -p 44444 bzr@"$DOCKERHOST" "bzr explorer"

Should work.

This docker will only build as long as the Bionic repos work in the normal spot.
Ideally this should be in a snap, flatpak, or appimage.

How do i prepare $IMAGENAME and $DOCKERHOST?

Do I need to configure a docker host for me? Is this done with the 'dockerd' (docker daemon) command? I have docker installed here, in my computer. There is the 'docker' command, and 188 other commands starting with this word.

Can you make me a step by step of what i should do? You do not need to explain everything in details, as long as i should be able to find these details in the web.

Thanks for doing that.

Afaik, this only applies to the first post, not to subsequent ones.

Heh, so qbrz is indeed in Bullseye - it's a shame the search for "bzr gui" didn't highlight that, though I've just checked and searching for "bazaar gui" does find it.

(Not sure whether it's worth updating the description to resolve that or whether Bazaar/bzr users would search for the name not the [previous] command.)

Those would be variables. The "$DOCKERHOST" would be the machine you run Docker on, if your local machine then localhost would probably work. Image name is whatever you name it when you build it.

Install Docker

https://docs.docker.com/engine/install/debian/

Build container. run this in the folder where you download the files I have in my git. Should be a dedicated folder for that stuff. Not just global in your home directory or something. /home/"$USER"/Downloads/bzrdocker would be the type of thing.

docker build -t bzr .

Then run as in the README.
