Error Encountered During WinApps Setup Using Docker and Tiny11 Image

[tomjpalamattam]

Description

I successfully set up Docker with the Tiny11 image. After installation, I could access the output via the VNC address: http://127.0.0.1:8006/. However, I encountered an error when running the setup script.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Set up tiny11 using Docker.
2. Setup the compose.yaml and winapps.conf files.
3. Follow the official setup script:

   bash <(curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/winapps-org/winapps/main/setup.sh)

Please view the log at /home/tom/.local/share/winapps/FreeRDP_Test_20250120_1527_497914124.log.
Troubleshooting Tips:
  - Ensure the user is logged out of Windows prior to initiating the WinApps installation.
  - Ensure the credentials within the WinApps configuration file are correct.
  - Utilise a new certificate by removing relevant certificate(s) in /home/tom/.config/freerdp/server.
  - If using 'libvirt', ensure the Windows VM is correctly named as specified within the README.
  - If using 'libvirt', ensure 'Remote Desktop' is enabled within the Windows VM.
  - If using 'libvirt', ensure you have merged 'RDPApps.reg' into the Windows VM's registry.
  - If using 'libvirt', try logging into and back out of the Windows VM within 'virt-manager' prior to initiating the WinApps installation.

I was able to Connect to RDP using the following command:

xfreerdp3 /u:User1 /p:password1 /v:127.0.0.1 /cert:tofu

Additional Notes

• I removed the file extensions from configuration files to include them as attachments in this post.

Did you try putting /cert:ignore instead of /cert:tofu into your Winapps config?

I tried it now, but is of no use

I have the same issue, running Fedora 41, Podman and a full Win11 install.
Connecting directly via xfreerdp works with either /cert:ignore or /cert:tofu, but setup.sh fails to connect.

Oddly enough, despite running Windows via Podman I can use xfreerdp without the issue described in #251.
