A Docker image that start a fresh telegram client.
## Usage To spawn a new instance of Telegram:
docker run --rm -it --name telegram \
-v /tmp/.X11-unix:/tmp/.X11-unix \
-e DISPLAY=unix$DISPLAY \
--device /dev/snd \
-v /etc/localtime:/etc/localtime:ro \
-v <Your_storage_dir>/.TelegramDesktop:/root/.local/share/TelegramDesktop/ \
xorilog/telegram
## Issues
- You have to log out Telegram to close the docker container.
Before Docker 1.8 you need to replace --device /dev/snd
by -v /dev/snd:/dev/snd --privileged
.

The previous command is to be run on a linux machine. But Mac users, I have a special surprise for you. You can also do fun hacks with X11. Details are described here.
Thanks to Telegram for their great app !
