How to install ivms4200-linux docker image on Ubuntu 19.10 (eoan)

Now, most of the people prefer to use Linux operating systems on personal computers as those are opensource freeware with  less risk for virus attacks.  But some software developers make their software to promote  Windows platforms according to a  commercial  agenda.

Most of the Hikvision camera configuration software are designed for Windows platforms. There is only one ivms4200- Linux built in the past . But this Linux version is not known to most of the people . Best thing is to use docker repositories , as those do not have dependency problems  or clash with the  operating systems of host machine.
Therefore , I have created a docker repository  bkjaya1952/docker-ivms4200-linux
using  solarkennedy / wine-x11-novnc-docker  as the base and uploaded to the dockerhub

This image has been created based on repository solarkennedy/wine-x11-novnc-docker . This repository bkjaya1952/docker-ivms4200-linux can be used in Linux platforms to configure Hikvision IP Cameras easily.
First I must be thankful to Kyle Anderson for providing us a very useful repository solarkennedy/wine-x11-novnc-docker.
Nicolas SAPA, a main contributor of solarkennedy/wine-x11-novnc-docker , helped me by making some changes in solarkennedy/wine-x11-novnc-docker , to facilitate in running my app successfully.
Usage :-
To create a ivms container (name ivms) using bkjaya1952/docker-ivms4200-linux
Refer:- https://hub.docker.com/r/bkjaya1952/docker-ivms4200-linux

On the Ubuntu terminal
 
sudo apt install docker.io

sudo docker create -t -p 8008:8080 --name ivms bkjaya1952/docker-ivms4200-linux
 
sudo docker start ivms
 
xdg-open http://localhost:8008

Then the desktop will appear on the web browser
On the desktop, right click the mouse to get the fluxbox menu



On the menu go to sub menus and ckick Applications>Shells>Bash
Now the configuration panel of ivms4200 will appear so that you can add your Hikvision cameras.
