TelegramFromContainer

Interesting thought the below diversion was, debian backports is probably a much more sensible way to get this package.

Add backports to your /etc/apt/sources.list

deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian stretch-backports main

Then you can just install:

sudo apt-get install telegram-desktop

Telegram shortcuts

Telegram in a container - pointless see above

Create a lxc container (this version assumes prior lxc container network setup as per UseOtherRepositorys):

sudo lxc-create -n buster -t download

Select:

• Distribution: debian
• Release: buster
• Architecture: arm64

Start the container:

sudo lxc-start -n buster

Attach as root and setup some basics:

sudo lxc-attach -n buster  
apt-get install nano dbus-x11 openssh-server sudo
adduser [USER]
adduser [USER] sudo
exit

Stop the container:

sudo lxc-stop -n buster

Configure X11 for use within this container.
Add these lines to /var/lib/lxc/buster/config (replace [USER] with your username):

lxc.mount.entry =/tmp/.X11-unix/X0 tmp/.X11-unix/X0 none rw,bind,create=file 0 0
lxc.mount.entry =/home/[USER]/.Xauthority home/[USER]/.Xauthority none rw,bind,create=file 0 0

Start the container:

sudo lxc-start -n buster

Attach to find the ip its been assigned:

sudo lxc-attach -n buster  
ifconfig
exit

Ssh into it:

ssh 10.0.3.xxx

Now you can install telegram-desktop:

sudo apt-get install telegram-desktop

Export your display:

export DISPLAY=:0

Run telegram:

telegram-desktop
