Linux users willing to try ALBERT without having to run the Windows version in an emulator can now get their hands dirty too! It’s a temporary measure, but Linux users can now run ALBERT in a Docker container.
Docker images are published on Docker Hub here.
Running ALBERT is just a matter of issuing the command:
docker run --rm -it -e DISPLAY=${DISPLAY} -v /tmp/.X11-unix:/tmp/.X11-unix luigidifraia/albertThis is what you should be able to see (the screenshot refers to Debian 11 and to the project file /app/sample-projects/c64-master-of-puppet.alb):
If you would like to persist ALBERT’s preferences and window positions, you will also have to mount a host folder into the container as /home/default/.config/ALBERT.
If you intend to save your artwork or export it, you’ll also have to mount a host folder for doing so.
Stay tuned for more!
Update: The official homepage for ALBERT is now: https://www.albertpixels.com/
