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 / 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.
