[macOS] running container after pulling image

[njm2112]

Install instructions are somewhat unclear... I am used to using docker-compose but there is no docker-compose.yml in this repo.

After pulling the :latest image, is that when you run the install scripts? Or do you have to first build the container?

I tried running using docker run --name=zoom zoom-us but Docker Desktop for Mac is reporting Exit Code 0 -- the container stops the moment after it starts.

Also, zoom at the shell does not work because there's nothing aliased to the command...

Can you provide a little more info about installation/building the container, and then running it? Happy to provide a pull request with an updated readme.md if you can help me get this up and running.

The installation process puts this script https://github.com/mdouchement/docker-zoom-us/blob/master/scripts/zoom-us-wrapper in the host folder /usr/local/bin (using docker option: --volume /usr/local/bin:/target). docker-compose lacks of flexibility to run this image.

This project is made to run on GNU/Linux as it uses on X11 an PulseAudio. It mounts host's devices in the container like /dev/video* and /dev/dri that does not exist on macOS.

Thanks for clarifying this. As I mentioned, attempting to execute zoom at the shell prompt fails because it doesn't appear there is anything aliased to the zoom command (even after the installation process puts the script in the host folder). Can I manually alias the script? If so, what am I to use alias zoom=/usr/local/bin/zoom-us-wrapper?

Also, it just occurred to me that X11 is 32-bit and I am using macOS 10.15 (Catalina) which does not run 32-bit applications. Does this mean that I won't be able to use this without using an OS that supports launching X11?

Thanks again!

Yes you can put the script where you want on your host and make an alias. (A symbolic link is normally done during the installation https://github.com/mdouchement/docker-zoom-us/blob/master/entrypoint.sh#L13).

I don't know about Catalina issue. Maybe Docker for Mac should handle 32bits Linux binaries as it is a xhyve VM. You'll need tools like XQuartz and PulseAudio on your mac. You'll also need to find how to forward host devices (webcam, audio, etc.) to the xhyve VM.

@njm2112 any luck?

The wrapper script is not being installed on Catalina even when you sudo I think is because of security. But when I install the script into my ~/Downloads folder, it prompts me to give it folder access and installs successfully.

After installing the script into Downloads folder, I tried executing the script from there and I get the following error:

./zoom-us-wrapper: line 15: xdg-user-dir: command not found
./zoom-us-wrapper: line 19: xdg-user-dir: command not found
Cleaning up stopped zoom-us instances...
