This is nothing really special:
- 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)
- 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
-
Install Vagrant & VirtualBox
-
Clone project, cd webex-box and run:
$ vagrant up --provision
- Open VirtualBox user interface and restart the VM
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.
