Connecting to server fails with desk_rt_ipc_error

[ptr33]

Hi Alireaza,

thank you for the Docker image for anydesk. During the build process I get following build error, which is ignored by the script as the build finishes:

dpkg: error processing package anydesk (--configure):
 installed anydesk package post-installation script subprocess returned error exit status 1
Setting up ubuntu-mono (20.10-0ubuntu2) ...
Processing triggers for libc-bin (2.35-0ubuntu3.1) ...
Errors were encountered while processing:
 anydesk
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
Removing intermediate container 6d6443bf94ba
 ---> 36e6dfdb4fe6
Step 7/15 : ARG UNAME=udocker

The application however starts normally without an error and I can connect to another anydesk server, but I cannot connect to this server and always get the error message

desk_rt_ipc_error

This is independent if I connect through the Anydesk ID or create a direct connection to the server by exposing port 7070.

Did you see similar behavior and do you have any idea to solve this?

Thank you

Hi @ptr33

That error during build doesn't matter, because Anydesk installs and runs correctly anyway.

I already checked about the "desk_rt_ipc_error" error and this error is caused by Docker.

In fact, Docker was created to isolate services from the host.
And if the container has full access to the host, this isolation has no value.

Of course, there are certainly solutions such as mounting, etc. that can give full access to the container.
But if the container needs to have full access to the host, it is certainly better to install the program on the host.

Because Anydesk needs to access all the hardware, and Docker prevents this access, as a result, an error occurs.

Best regards,
AliReaza
