configure & make & make install procedure to build it from sources. Next step was to grab the wireshark sources archive unzip it and execute the well known. RUN apt-get install perl pkg-config libglib2.0-dev libpcap-dev gtk2.0 -y> I decided to install Wireshark on Ubuntu 16.04 (inside the container):Īfter that I needed to update Ubuntu container and install some prerequisites to be able to install wireshark: Let’s break down the Dockerfile to see what’s going on.

My idea was to build a Docker container that would run Wireshark inside, would be able to capture data on the host network interface and would forward GUI to my host machine. So, I decided to take advantage of the powerful tool called Docker. Long story short, after upgrading I discovered that Wireshark needed to be built from sources for this version of Fedora. To save my old data I mounted /home directory to the old /home directory (without re-formatting the old partition) when prompted during installation.

After encountering a few problems with the straight upgrade, I ended up reinstalling Fedora 24 from scratch.

Since last weekend was a rainy and boring one, in my part of the world, I decided to upgrade my laptop running Fedora 23 to Fedora 24.
