Install Forticlient VPN but GUI appear blank - Kasm ubuntu #286

Open Maseratti1 opened 1 year ago

Dear friends,

I've created a Dockerfile where I've created a new ubuntu image with a forticlient software installation. I installed the forticlient but when the kasm ubuntu image is running I can't start VPN client throught the start menu. I can start using the console writting "forticlient gui" but appears a blank image, so I can't fill and connect. Already install, uninstall, installed node.js, try in multiple ubuntu kasm images and I don't know why I can't use Forticlient VPN in a Linux desktop. Anyone know why? Thank you for your help.

Best regards,

Mr. Maserati

Hello. Running a VPN client inside a container is not that easy and will likely require you to run the container as privileged...

Even that may not be enough, but you can try it. I can't speak to the Forticlient, that is not something I have personally tried, but here is an article discussing VPN side car containers in general.
