Fireslug ======== Waterfox running under Xvnc inside a Docker container, a demented tool to solve a demented problem. Occasionally one needs to run dangerous code in a web brower, eg, some dodgy Java app which is the only available interface to some critical resource. Running this in one's normal web browser is a bad idea. So what one really wants here is a burner web browser. Here you go. See `create.sh` and `run.sh` for ways one might use the image. Something along the lines of the `run.sh` formulation might work well as the command portion of a tunneling `ssh -L 5900:127.0.0.1:5900` command. Sadly, this approach requires one to download JRE directly from Oracle, get an account, and check through a license agreement, so I can't just give it away, you'll have to download the JRE yourself. [Kate's reference on installing Java](https://www.wikihow.com/Install-Oracle-Java-on-Ubuntu-Linux) Even with this, Java still whines a lot when dealing with the kind of crappy old IPMI consoles that require this insanity in the first place. Among other things, Java whines that the crappy Java app supplied by IPMI isn't signed properly (true), and therefore refuses to run it (why were we doing this again?). Once one gets past that, one has to argue with Waterfox a bit to get it to believe that you want to use `javaws` as the launcher for `jnlp` files. You can bypass the Java whining by prepopulating `/root/.java/deployment/security/exception.sites` with a URL whitelist. The format appears to be one URL per line, no comments or other formatting. Example: ``` https://ipmi.foo.example.org https://ipmi.bar.example.org ``` The hack for preconfiguring Waterfox's MIME handler to run `/usr/bin/javaws` for `jnlp` files is particularly disgusting, but none of the rest of this is particularly nice either. Whatever. This version is based on Debian Buster, so that we can use `PepperFlashPlayer` via an APT package.
