/vidyo-on-docker

Recipe to run Vidyo inside of a docker container

Primary LanguageShell

This is a docker configuration for running Vidyo inside a supported version of Linux, in this case CentOS 7.

I've tested this on a Fedora 27 host and it seems to work for me. I have no idea whether it will work in other hosts. Vidyo 3.6.3 crashes on startup for me in the host, and this Docker configuration doesn't, so that's progress.

Most of the hard work here is from mviereck's x11docker project. I'm just applying it to Vidyo here.

Building

  • Install docker, and get it working for your user. I used these instructions.

  • Download VidyoDesktopInstaller-sl564-TAG_VD_3_6_3_017.rpm and place it in the root of this project.

  • Build the docker image:

    docker build -t vidyo .

  • Clone the x11docker tool:

    git clone https://github.com/mviereck/x11docker.git

Running

  • Start vidyo:

    ./run_vidyo

  • You probably want to symlink ./run_vidyo from somewhere on your $PATH.

    ln -s /path/to/run_vidyo ~/bin/run_vidyo

Caveat: the configuration for Vidyo is shared between the "native" Vidyo and Vidyo-in-Docker.
