Shamelessly copied from this medium post
This project was created to create a virtual desktop in a docker container and hacky join zoom meetings. Free attendence and morning sleep!!!💤
XVFB: virtual desktop
OpenBox: window manager
X11VNC: VNC server
PulseAudio: Dummy micThe project uses:
XVFB: virtual desktop
OpenBox: window manager
X11VNC: VNC server
PulseAudio: Dummy mic 😎
NoVNC: Http access to vnc 😋
OpenResty: Automate zoom launch (zoomauth required)
And Zoom ofc 😁
docker run -d -p 8080:8080 -e VNC_SERVER_PASSWORD=password --user apps iluvmonero/docker-xvfb
NoVNC accessed by CONTAINER_IP:8080/
Launch zoom meeting by CONTAINER_IP:8080/zoom?meetid=MEETINGID
To auto-join meeting ZOOMAUTH_URL need to be provided
Check is nginx is working by CONTAINER_IP:8080/test
| ENV | Default | Description | |
|---|---|---|---|
| PORT | 8080 | Nginx port for http access | |
| VNC_SERVER_PASSWORD | BLANK | Password for vnc access | |
| ZOOMAUTH_URL | BLANK | tar.gz file that contains .zoom folder contents for authentication | |
| LTIME | 40 | Meeting time. Eg. 40 (seconds), 2m (minutes) | |
| PUBLIC_URL | localhost | URL to container , might be helpful to keep container awake | |
| XVFB_RESOLUTION | 1280x720x16 | Virtual screen resolution |
While the VNC_SERVER_PASSWORD argument is optional, it is not if you are using the macOS VNC viewer. If you do not set a password on macOS, you will not be able to connect to the container’s VNC server.
This container has a non-root user apps created in Dockerfile , root passwd =docker
Please check if your GUI app needed --privileged flag , as some popular apps like chrome need it
