  PID: 1796 → monitoring (new Chrome running) 

The minimize button is the remaining issue — it doesn't terminate Chrome, it just hides the window with no way to bring

There is only so much we can do.

Restart app is working, but you are also hardening the container. There is no universal "do not show a minimize button" for a program. We do our best with labwc's own menu bars and remove the minimize button from that, but chromium renders their own.

If you did not also harden the container then you could middle click the desktop and restore the window.

Also this stuff has been fixed for the wayland side now, this just has not been built yet. Test with linuxerver/chrome for now.

With labwc we can still show a button to open a new chrome window, so if you minimize when you are hardened you can at least click the desktop and open a new window. Try this

client = docker.from_env()
        container = client.containers.run(
            "lscr.io/linuxserver/chrome",
            detach=True,
            name=container_name,
            ports={"3000/tcp": port},
            environment={
                "PUID": "1000",
                "PGID": "1000",
                "SELKIES_UI_SHOW_SIDEBAR": "False|locked",
                "SELKIES_UI_SHOW_LOGO": "False",
                "SELKIES_UI_SHOW_CORE_BUTTONS": "False",
                "HARDEN_OPENBOX": "true",
                "HARDEN_DESKTOP": "true",
            },
            shm_size="1g",
            remove=False,
        )

(when you harden restart is assumed)
