docker-desktop-vnc-knime's Issues

Support for Knime Analytics Platform 4.7 & 5.1

Dear Elestio,

Is there a plan to upgrade this docker image to support Knime's new Analytics Platform version 5.1 - https://docs.knime.com/?category=analytics_platform&version=5.1?

I tried myself on EKS:

1. Updating the package version - It fails due to missing system libraries

RUN mkdir -p /opt/ && cd /opt && curl https://download.knime.org/analytics-platform/linux/knime_5.1.0.linux.gtk.x86_64.tar.gz > knime.tar.gz && tar -xzf knime.tar.gz && rm knime.tar.gz && mv knime_5.1.0 knime

See error log:

3. Based on this post and after installing some extra system libs it appears to work but then the driver seems to crash (see libva errors) and the IDE window becomes white/empty/blank. It is not really stable/usable.

# RUN apt-get install libnss
# RUN apt update \
#     && apt-get install -y libnss3-dev libgdk-pixbuf2.0-dev libgtk-3-dev libxss-dev

See error log:

Sometimes it works:

Do you have any plans on update the image? Or at least do you have any recommendations as I am not really familiar on what exactly is required so that Knime runs smoothly. For now switching back to classic UI seems like the only way to use 5.1 but even that is not reliable as sometimes you cannot even reach the Preferences menu to switch the UI option. The problem seems to be related to the chrome/chromium driver.
