[HELP REQUEST] VNC docker with wine - blueiris

Bungy · July 17, 2015

I am working on building a docker to run blueiris security camera software. This is windows software that has the ability to run on linux using wine. I have successfully run a dockerized x11 server including vnc. I am able to install wine in another docker and show applications such as notepad and explorer on the vnc server.

I am also able to get blueiris to install inside the docker but only if I use boot2docker. Using the exact same docker on unraid, running wine gives me the error:

bash: /usr/bin/wine: cannot execute binary file: Exec format error

Interestingly if I install wine directly on unraid, I get the same error. However, I am able to run the 64-bit version of wine (wine64). I tried to just use this as the solution for unraid users, but the blueiris.exe file won't run with 64 bit wine. I get the error:

wine: Bad EXE format for Z:\tmp\blueiris.exe

My guess is there are some modules not included in unraid that is causing bad interpretation of the 32-bit wine executable. If anybody has any thoughts as to the problem or any paths forward, please let me know.

64bit unRAID has no support for 32bit executables.

64bit unRAID has no support for 32bit executables.

Are you running the command as docker exec -it <NAMEOFDOCKER> <COMMAND> ? then it wouldn't matter if its 32/64bit because the command is running in the docker

Bungy · July 17, 2015

64bit unRAID has no support for 32bit executables.

That's what I figured. I was hoping that running inside a docker would help with this problem. I guess since dockers run on the host's kernel the 32-bit docker executables also won't run.

I'm running docker exec -it <NAMEOFDOCKER> /bin/bash

Then from inside the docker I'm running the 32-bit executable. I wonder if I need to install some kind of multi-arch library inside the docker.

shouldn't matter... can you link me to your dockerfile?

docker on unRaid does not support 32 bit libraries

docker in general does not have support for 32 bit libraries, but some people were able to get them to work on certain base platforms by installing additional compatibility libraries.

I have not been able to get any 32 bit app to work in docker on unRaid

I learned something today! weeeeeeeeee

Bungy · July 17, 2015

lol glad my failed attempts are at least spreading knowledge!

aptalca · July 17, 2015

Yeah, I spent a good many hours trying to get ventrilo to work, but kept getting that same error "cannot execute binary file: Exec format error"

sparklyballs · July 17, 2015

wine may be a different case though..

i tried to compile it in what they refer to as a wow setup here.

http://wiki.winehq.org/Wine64

it built on my VM, but testing was pointless there, because my VM has multiarch support.

however, 6 attempts of dockerhub building it all came back with "unexpected failure" .. i never got to the bottom of that...

knowing dockerhub and how ridiculously flaky it is, i couldn't say if it was an issue with them or not... one thing that was bizarre that every other time a docker build fails there, i get a notification via email, no such notification with those 6 failures though.

Bungy · July 18, 2015

I'm very glad to see the pros are all stepping in to help!

The problem seems to be a bit different then I originally thought. I was able to get 64-bit windows programs to run using wine64. The blueiris installer is able to install 32 and 64 bit versions of the software. However, for compatibility, the installer itself is a 32-bit program and I can't run it using wine64.

that should compile wine64 and wine32 without adding i386 to dpkg config.

i haven't been able to satisfy dependencies for x and freetype 386 though, i don't know whether that's a deal breaker for getting this to work.

i also can't find the env settings to put wine and wine64 into path, i had them before but lost them, and google isn't playing the game, lol.

Bungy · July 18, 2015

I tried compiling from source before and got the same exec error after satisfying the x and free type dependencies. I'll give it another shot though with your docker file. Thanks!

Bungy · July 18, 2015

I tried this using the ubuntu:14.04 baseimage instead of phusion since that is what I was working on previously. I'll likely switch to phusion once (/if) I release the docker.

I compiled the wine32 executable using your same flags to ignore x and freetype and am still getting the same problem (bash: /usr/local/bin/wine: cannot execute binary file: Exec format error)

Were you able to get the 32-bit wine to run in phusion? I'm asking before I take another hour to rebuild.

you have to use the 64bit executable.

it's called wine64 and compiling this way allegedly allows the 64bit wine to run 32 bit apps.

whether that works within unraid is the big question.

if this works, i'm in the process of making a winebox base image...

That may be true. My compiled wine64 wouldnt run the 32-bit executable I was trying. I didn't try other executables yet. I get no error message and no response. If your build is done, can you try to run this program:

http://blueirissoftware.com/blueiris.exe

Also don't forget to include wine-gecko and wine-mono

sparklyballs · July 18, 2015

apt-cache search wine-gecko
wine-gecko2.21 - Microsoft Windows compatibility layer (embedded web browser)
libwine-gecko-2.21 - Windows API implementation - web browser module
libwine-gecko-dbg-2.21 - Windows API implementation - web browser debug build

which ?

i'm working on a base image only with no vnc/rdp components yet, so it's not really in a testable condition.

Bungy · July 18, 2015

Fair enough.

I have a docker with the x11 server and vnc built in. It takes some configuring on the client side, but it's pretty simple.

X11server:

docker run -d --name display -e VNC_PASSWORD=newPW -p 5901:5900 suchja/x11server:latest

Dockerfile for x11client:

# Setup the xclient
# first create user and group for all the X Window stuff
# required to do this first so we have consistent uid/gid between server and client container
RUN addgroup --system xusers \
  && adduser \
		--home /home/xclient \
		--disabled-password \
		--shell /bin/bash \
		--gecos "user for running an xclient application" \
		--ingroup xusers \
		--quiet \
		xclient

# Install packages required for connecting against X Server
RUN apt-get update && apt-get install -y --no-install-recommends \
			xauth \
	&& rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/*

Then just run your wine docker:

docker run -d --name winebottle --link display:xserver --volumes-from display winebottle

From inside the winebottle, change the user to xclient and run your wine64 program.

apt-cache search wine-gecko
wine-gecko2.21 - Microsoft Windows compatibility layer (embedded web browser)
libwine-gecko-2.21 - Windows API implementation - web browser module
libwine-gecko-dbg-2.21 - Windows API implementation - web browser debug build

which ?

I missed this post earlier. On my machine, the package repository repository looks a little bit different. I'm guessing this is because I added the ppa and then updated before searching the cache.

libwine-gecko-2.21 - Windows API implementation - web browser module
libwine-gecko-dbg-2.21 - Windows API implementation - web browser debug build
wine-gecko2.21 - Microsoft Windows compatibility layer (embedded web browser)
wine-gecko2.24 - Microsoft Windows compatibility layer (embedded web browser)
wine-gecko2.34 - Microsoft Windows compatibility layer (embedded web browser)
wine-gecko2.36 - Microsoft Windows compatibility layer (embedded web browser)

wine-gecko2.36 is the one I've been using with wine1.7.*

Wow. Thanks so much. This helps a lot. I'm building it now and will report back.
