Set apps as default for the host system
Assuming you installed Firefox and want it to be your default browser, run this:
docker-things set-default firefox
Integration
xdg-open
The apps are able to open stuff between each other by using the host xdg-open script through FIFO.
So, if you click a link in Mattermost it will be able to open Firefox or whichever is your default browser.
notify-send
Notifications sent through notify-send will also be shown seamlessly in the host system by using FIFO pipes.
