Hi, I installed wechat for docker using the following command. It is opening but I am unable to login.

curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/huan/docker-wechat/master/dochat.sh | DOCHAT_WECHAT_VERSION=2.9.0.114 bash

It seems that we should upgrade the WeChat version in DoChat next month...

I hope that I could be able to write a script so that the DoChat will upgrade with the new version whenever the WeChat upgraded.

Thanks for the reply. It seems like a very good initiatives for people like us who do not want to install wine to use the windows version of wechat. Even if there would be a way to access the directory of the docker image through ssh, I guess we could try to update the wechat by downloading the exe file and installing within that system but again I do understand that would be a hassle as docker does not allow persistent storage (from my personal understanding) so once closing the image may need us to do the entire process again. No worries we will wait until you would update with the latest wechat. Thanks again for the contribution. Its not so convenient to use webchat version of wechat in linux (electron-wechat).

I didn't see this window, but my WeChat also exited after scanned the QR code.

Command:

alias wechat="docker run --name DoChat --rm -i -v \"$HOME/DoChat/WeChat Files/\":\"/home/user/WeChat Files/\" -v \"$HOME/DoChat/Applcation Data\":\"/home/user/.wine/drive_c/users/user/Application Data/\" -v /tmp/.X11-unix:/tmp/.X11-unix -e DISPLAY -e XMODIFIERS=@im=ibus -e GTK_IM_MODULE=ibus -e QT_IM_MODULE=ibus -e GID=\"$(id -g)\" -e UID=\"$(id -u)\" --ipc=host --privileged zixia/wechat"

Not sure if they are the same problem...

In the meantime, is there a way to make WeChat upgrade a bit easier for the average Joe (i.e. those who has basic understanding of dockerfile and wine) ?

@kngharv Sorry but I'm afraid that it has not very easy for the average Joe to update the DoChat system because it's very tricky.

However, if you are interested to try to upgrade it, I'd like to help. Please feel free to let me know if you have any questions.
