Sometimes the page will become blank

docker pull belane/bloodhound

[r00tSe7en]

I'm not sure what caused the blank

[belane]

Not sure what caused it, but it seems a BloodHound problem as they have some issues about this;

• Everything is white BloodHoundAD/BloodHound#490
• Screen goes white when trying to view info on a specific edge. BloodHoundAD/BloodHound#598
• White Background no authentication BloodHoundAD/BloodHound#584
• Bloodhound doesn't load - white screen BloodHoundAD/BloodHound#221

Does it show any error log?

FWIW I got a blank screen right after the login almost always, but not quite. Once in 20 attempts or so it would work. (Note that I was using podman instead of Docker.)

I set the environment variable ELECTRON_ENABLE_LOGGING=true (I recommend setting this by default in run.sh) and got this:

This explains and solves it: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/56218242/headless-chromium-on-docker-fails

Option 1:
Run chrome bloodhound with --disable-dev-shm-usage
Option 2:
Set /dev/shm size to a reasonable amount docker run -it --shm-size=1g replacing 1g with whatever amount you want.

EDIT: A workaround fix appears to be running BloodHound in a small window. I have a 2K monitor and it crashes pretty much right away. If you put it in a juuuuust usable enough window, you don't get any crashing.

@belane Please reconsider opening this issue as this is still occurring. See @AdrianVollmer's above comment.

@r00tSe7en @AdrianVollmer @austinbentlee I've created a debug Dockerfile that will print errors to the console so we can figure out the source of the problem.

Please try it and copy the error details here.

Create image:
docker build -f dockerfile-debug . -t bloodhound-debug

Add local user to DISPLAY (if necessary):
xhost +local:$(id -nu)

Run container:

docker run -it \
  -p 7474:7474 \
  -e DISPLAY=unix$DISPLAY \
  -v /tmp/.X11-unix:/tmp/.X11-unix \
  --device=/dev/dri:/dev/dri \
  -v $(pwd)/bh-data:/data \
  --name bloodhound-debug bloodhound-debug

If you get error messages about shared memory, try the shm-size argument.

docker run -it --shm-size=1g \
  -p 7474:7474 \
  -e DISPLAY=unix$DISPLAY \
  -v /tmp/.X11-unix:/tmp/.X11-unix \
  --device=/dev/dri:/dev/dri \
  -v $(pwd)/bh-data:/data \
  --name bloodhound-debug bloodhound-debug

This did the trick for me on Parrot 5 with jdk11
