Getting webex to run on linux

It can mess up your system, so why not use docker instead?


Get this image
url: https://hub.docker.com/r/dnk8n/docker-webex/
command: docker pull dnk8n/docker-webex


close all running firefox instances

start image

sudo docker run -it \
    --env DISPLAY=unix$DISPLAY \
    --privileged \
    --name=docker-webex \
    --volume /dev/snd:/dev/snd \
    --volume /tmp/.X11-unix:/tmp/.X11-unix \
    dnk8n/docker-webex:latest $1


if firefox is already open and you want to maintain your existing session

sudo docker run -it \
    --env DISPLAY=unix$DISPLAY \
    --privileged \
    --name=docker-webex \
    --volume /dev/snd:/dev/snd \
    --volume /tmp/.X11-unix:/tmp/.X11-unix \
    dnk8n/docker-webex:latest $1 \
    /usr/bin/firefox go.webex.com --no-remote

make sure there is no whitespace after \ otherwise the multiline commands wont work
