Simple Webex Linux box

This is nothing really special:

Goal:

  • Provide a ready to run and isolated WebEx environment that can be run on Linux.
  • Install the software (Browser, Java & Plugin) to be able to run WebEx on Linux
  • Avoid the mess of mixing 32-bit versions of Java into your 64 bit system.
  • Run X, not Wayland, to enable screen sharing (but keeping your host system safe, isolated from the VM)

How:

  • Using Vagrant to create a fresh virtual machine image
  • Base OS: Ubuntu with a small(ish) desktop environment: LXDE
  • WebEx seems to require 32-bit Java versions. To keep it simple, the base OS is therefore 32 bit.
  • Install Firefox + plugins

Running:

  1. Install Vagrant & VirtualBox

  2. Clone project, cd webex-box and run:

$ vagrant up --provision
  1. Open VirtualBox user interface and restart the VM

Tweaks:

Depending on your system resources you could tweak memory or number of CPUs for better perfomance - either in the Vagrantfile before building, or later on in the VirtualBox user interface.
