hpess/virtualrooms repository overview

⁠HP Virtual Rooms

This is a docker version of the HP Virtual Rooms client available at https://www.rooms.hp.com/resources⁠

As they only support a limited number of operating systems (mine not being one of them) I have created this container which has all the dependencies required to run the stand alone client.

⁠Use

You need to share your X11 socket with the container as a volume:

docker run -ti --rm -v /tmp/.X11-unix:/tmp/.X11-unix hpess/virtualrooms

Running that should pop up a nice shiney virtual room client.

⁠X Server not on :0

If your xserver isn't on :0, start it like this:

docker run -ti --rm -e DISPLAY:$DISPLAY -v /tmp/.X11-unix:/tmp/.X11-unix hpess/virtualrooms

⁠Behind a corporate proxy

If you're behind a proxy, pass through the environment variables like this:

docker run -ti --rm -v /tmp/.X11-unix:/tmp/.X11-unix -e http_proxy=http://your-proxy:port -e https_proxy=http://your-proxy:port hpess/virtualrooms

⁠Warnings

This is by no means a piece of software supported by Hewlett-Packard, or HPVR, you use it at your own risk and by using the HPVR software you're subject to their licence terms and conditions too.
