[winswitch] Xpra running Wireshark in Docker container

Post by Feldhaus, Florian via shifter-users
I discovered Xpra several years ago, but never really used it until I was searching for a solution to make Wireshark available via a Webinterface. Using Docker and the Xpra HTML Client, I was able to create a Docker container with Xpra and Wireshark (see https://github.com/ffeldhaus/docker-wireshark). Based on the Docker image, I created a solution to proxy and analyze arbitrary TCP traffic with HAProxy and Wireshark - HAProxy acts as endpoint for e.g. NFS, SMB, HTTP or other services and forwards the traffic to the real service and Wireshark, accessed via Webbrowser, can analyze the traffic (see https://github.com/ffeldhaus/docker-network-traffic-analyzer for details).
I’m impressed by the features and abilities of Xpra and would like to thank everyone who helped to develop it.
- Installing Xpra requires a huge number of dependencies. It would be great to get some input how to reduce the number of dependencies to create a minimal docker image (currently it’s larger than 1GB.

1GB is huge! The most important dependencies are listed here:
http://xpra.org/trac/wiki/Dependencies
And the build and packaging dependencies are also documented here:
http://xpra.org/trac/wiki/Building

This will largely depend on the distro you are on. Some Debian it seems?
Our Debian packaging uses strict dependencies as well as both
"Recommends" and "Suggests" weak dependencies.
Not installing the weak dependencies will give you a stripped down
installation, without support for printer or audio forwarding, mdns, etc
For your use-case, you may also want to remove "ffmpeg-xpra" as per:
http://xpra.org/trac/changeset/17145

Post by Feldhaus, Florian via shifter-users
- Running current stable Xpra version results in several error messages (see below). I’d appreciate input why these occur (check https://github.com/ffeldhaus/docker-wireshark/blob/master/xpra.conf for the config options). I’d be especially interested in
- Why does renaming '/run/user/1000/xpra/Xorg.S1.log' to '/run/user/1000/xpra/Xorg.:0.log' fail?

That's a bug in the Xorg server, a fix has been submitted upstream:
http://xpra.org/trac/ticket/1192

Post by Feldhaus, Florian via shifter-users
- Why does Xpra try to create socket directory in '/run/xpra' even though socket dir was specified as /run/user/1000/xpra and xpra was run as non root user?

See "socket-dirs" as well as "socket-dir".
(yes, it is a bit confusing having both, we kinda messed up that one -
too late to go back, sorry)

Post by Feldhaus, Florian via shifter-users
- Why does Xpra show an ERROR related to X11 property 'PULSE_SERVER' even though pulseaudio=no is specified in config file?

The "_sound_query" subcommand is probing gstreamer to see what elements
should be used for audio forwarding, and part of this query will try to
figure out if pulseaudio is available. (which is separate from the
pulseaudio=no command line option which controls if we start it or not)

For whatever reason, your "/usr/bin/xpra" ends up trying to use GTK3
(maybe loading GTK2 failed?), this doesn't work well before xpra 2.2

Post by Feldhaus, Florian via shifter-users
- When I access Wireshark via Webinterface using Firefox 57 I have issues with special characters (y and z are working correct, but ! = # as well as öäü and others are not working). I’ve seen some fixed issues around this, but this seems to be a new one. With Chrome it works better, but not perfect (! = # work but öäü do not work). Should I report this as an issue?

Yes please. Make sure you include all the required details:
https://www.xpra.org/trac/wiki/Keyboard#ReportingBugs

Keyboard mapping issues are always "interesting".

Post by Feldhaus, Florian via shifter-users
- Is it possible to force SSL connections when accessing the HTML client? I successfully configured SSL, but ideally all HTTP connections should be upgraded to HTTPS (maybe using HSTS).

In xpra 2.2, you can specify different socket types for different ports.
For example:
xpra --bind-wss=0.0.0.0:14500
This will only allow secure websockets / https.

For more information, see:
https://xpra.org/trac/ticket/1504#comment:2

Hi Antoine,

http://xpra.org/trac/wiki/Dependencies
http://xpra.org/trac/wiki/Building
This will largely depend on the distro you are on. Some Debian it seems?
Our Debian packaging uses strict dependencies as well as both
"Recommends" and "Suggests" weak dependencies.
Not installing the weak dependencies will give you a stripped down
installation, without support for printer or audio forwarding, mdns, etc
http://xpra.org/trac/changeset/17145

I managed to reduce the docker image size quite a bit (to 480MB) by using the --no-install-recommends switch for apt-get install. Unfortunately changeset 17145 was not included in the latest available xpra 2.2 beta which is from yesterday morning. Could you trigger a new xpra 2.2 beta build for centos including that changeset?

I did see a few new errors though:

The following is probably related to python-uinput not being installed. If it is required, it should be a mandatory dependency. If it is not required, xpra shouldn’t fail.
2017-10-11 07:21:44,355 cannot access python uinput module:
2017-10-11 07:21:44,355 No module named uinput

The following is new as well
Error running "xauth add :0 MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 7e0f55cb5f2a433993a09f12bcea0794": [Errno 2] No such file or directory

Even though I included dbus-control=no and dbus-proxy=no I still get this error:
/bin/sh: 1: dbus-launch: not found
dbus-launch failed to start using command 'dbus-launch --close-stderr':
exit code is 127
2017-10-11 07:21:54,388 Warning: menu forwarding is disabled:
2017-10-11 07:21:54,388 cannot load dbus helper: No module named dbus

The following is also new and I would like to understand if I should install this package as dependency. For what does xpra use the package?
2017-10-11 07:21:54,404 Warning: the python netifaces package is missing

There is one message regarding Gstream which I don’t understand
Warning: failed to import GStreamer 1.x:
No module named gi

http://xpra.org/trac/ticket/1192

Let’s wait and see when this will be merged into Xorg.

See "socket-dirs" as well as "socket-dir".
(yes, it is a bit confusing having both, we kinda messed up that one -
too late to go back, sorry)

Using socket-dirs instead of socket-dir fixed this.

As per above, the sound subsystem requires gstreamer and you have not

An option for HSTS would be nice to have, I'll see what can be done.

Cheers

I wasn't 100% sure which specific distro versions you needed here, as
you've mentioned both "apt-get" and "CentOS", so I've pushed some new
2.2 beta 64-bit builds for Ubuntu Zesty and Artful, Debian Stretch, all
current versions of Fedora and CentOS 7.4.
And for good measure, also MS Windows and MacOS.

Sorry, that I mentioned CentOS. The docker image is using Debian Stretch. Either the beta build did not work or it is still in progress. The Packages file for debian stretch amd64 is currently empty (see https://xpra.org/beta/stretch/main/binary-amd64/ ) and I can’t install from the repository anymore. Can you have a look?

/bin/sh: 1: dbus-launch: not found
exit code is 127
2017-10-11 07:21:54,388 cannot load dbus helper: No module named dbus

You haven't installed dbus or the python bindings for it.
These features are optional, to avoid the warning you can use:
"--dbus-launch=no"

I couldn’t find the --dbus-launch option in the xpra manpage ( https://xpra.org/manual.html ). Therefore I didn’t know about the switch. I did not check the manpage of the binary in the docker container though…

Thanks for all the explanations!

It should be fine now.

I scheduled so many builds that the buildbot eventually ran out of disk
space. That's unlucky because Stretch came last, and the others were OK.

It was missing, only "xpra --help" had it, that's now fixed:

Hi Antoine,

thanks for rebuilding it for Debian stretch. Unfortunately the ffmpeg-xpra package is still required. I think you missed to remove it from the Build-Depends section in the Debian Control file:

Source: xpra
Section: x11
Priority: optional
Maintainer: Antoine Martin <***@devloop.org.uk>
Build-Depends: debhelper (>= 8)
,cython (>= 0.23)
,ffmpeg-xpra

Can you have check if removing it from the Build-Depends is possible and then rebuild the Debian packages?

Thanks

thanks for rebuilding it for Debian stretch. Unfortunately the ffmpeg-xpra package is still required.

Please post the exact packaging diagnostic messages.

We can't remove the build time dependency, as it is really needed.

If the binary packages generated still somehow have a dependency on
ffmpeg-xpra (or was it the .so libraries themselves?), we may need to
either add more dh_shlibdeps overrides or split the codecs into their
own package.

Not sure I'll have much to investigate either option in the near future,
but you can easily do this yourself by following:
http://xpra.org/trac/wiki/Building/Debian
(some tweaking may be required)

Cheers
Antoine
