Right now I'm using docker to build a personalized virtual environment for tensor flow development.

I will install fluxbox and guest additions ontop of an existing tensor flow Ubuntu Docker...

here is my Dockerfile

FROM b.gcr.io/tensorflow/tensorflow:latest-devel
RUN apt-get update && apt-get upgrade -y

RUN apt-get install -y build-essential module-assistant
RUN m-a prepare
RUN m-a update
RUN sh /media/cdrom/VBoxLinuxAdditions.run

RUN apt-get -y install xorg openbox
RUN apt-get -y install fluxbox
RUN apt-get -y install gedit

RUN apt-get update
RUN apt-get upgrade -y

Unfortunately RUN m-a prepare exits with code 101 expecting me to Click on Install Guest Additions… from the VirtualBox Devices menu.

I am thinking that this is the same type of issue you get if you try to apt-get install without the -y option, the docker file results in a indeterminate state requiring user input and the whole thing crashes.

Now I have been looking for a couple hours now and I can't figure how to install guest additions in with my Dockerfile...

Any input would be awesome!

You can install virtualbox-guest-dkms package instead, it contains the same guest drivers.

sudo apt-get install virtualbox-guest-dkms
