An Ubuntu 14.04 based docker image for running Cisco WebEx on 64-bit Linux systems.

In order to run Cisco WebEx you need to download the 32-bit version of Java Runtime and Firefox browser. This image has been tested with Oracle JRE build 8u91 (jre-8u91-linux-i586.tar.gz) and Firefox 45 (firefox-45.0.tar.bz2) that will be used in this instructions.

Use on of the following links for downloading Oracle Java - download the i586 version:

• Main download page: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html
• Latest JRE 8: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jre8-downloads-2133155.html
• Archive: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/archive-139210.html

Links for Firefox - download the i686 version:

• Main download page: https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all/
• All releases: https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/releases
• Firefox 45.0: https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/releases/45.0/linux-i686/en-US/firefox-45.0.tar.bz2

On the host (your machine) you need to install PulseAudio Preferences:

sudo apt-get install paprefs

Next, you need to enable network access to local sound devices: Launch PulseAudio Preferences, go to "Network Server" tab and check the Enable network access to local sound devices checkbox.

After the above steps are done, restart your computer.

First, clone this repository.

Next, place the jre-8u91-linux-i586.tar.gz and firefox-45.0.tar.bz2 in the resources directory.

From the root directory (where Dockerfile is located) run the following command:

docker build -t webexondocker1404 .

This will create a docker image named webexondocker1404.

First, enable accessing the X Server from any host:

xhost +
> access control disabled, clients can connect from any host

Then, start the docker container:

docker run -d -p 2222:22 -v /run/user/$UID/pulse/native:/tmp/webexpulsesocket --name WebexOnDocker webexondocker1404

Now you can run Firefox and start using Cisco WebEx:

#root password is root
ssh root@localhost -p 2222 -X startfirefox

Remember to stop/remove the docker container once you finish:

docker rm -f WebexOnDocker
