It’s possible to run an instance of the Linux version of BigFix in a docker container.
While not a supported option it can still be useful. Here’s a couple of examples:
Quickly build and tear down a BigFix server or Webreports.
Create a bunch of test Linux endpoints.
Dockerfiles that you can use to build BigFix clients as well as an evaluation edition of BigFix server are here the bigfix project on github.
I missed this when it was first posted and I ended up doing something related without actually realizing it. I created an install_bigfix.sh script to make it very easy to install BigFix on Linux/Unix/Mac. I then realized that it could be used to install BigFix in Docker containers and created docker_bigfix_client.sh to do so.
I structured my script to be a single monolithic one so that it could be downloaded as a single unit and executed, but otherwise there are many similarities.
