Investigate replacing novnc with webtop

[n-murphy]

webtop from linuxserver.io looks like it might be an excellent fit for SoapUI in Docker. Would be interesting to see if I can get SoapUI running successfully in webtop.

• WebTop GitHub Repo
• WebTop Documentation
• WebTop Docker Hub

Used docker compose to start an instance of lscr.io/linuxserver/webtop:ubuntu-mate and manually installed SoapUI 5.7.0 and also successfully configured its autostart on user login. The next step will be to build an image based on the webtop:ubuntu-mate one that includes the SoapUI 5.7.0 installation and autostart configuration.

SoapUI 5.7.0.desktop file sample

#!/usr/bin/env xdg-open
[Desktop Entry]
Type=Application
Name=SoapUI 5.7.0
Exec="/config/SmartBear/SoapUI-5.7.0/bin/SoapUI-5.7.0"  %U
Comment=Install Desktop ShortCut
Icon=/config/SmartBear/SoapUI-5.7.0/.install4j/SoapUI-5.7.0.png
StartupWMClass=install4j-com-eviware-soapui-SoapUI

This file needs to be placed in the users (abc in this case) ~/.config/autostart directory.

Below is what the file looks like if configured via the Start Application Preferences UI

[Desktop Entry]
