Let’s have a look at the Dockerfile used to build the wanted wireshark image:

Here are some useful links I used to document this implementation: I was glad I remembered how X11 works and learned how can you actually use a GUI app inside a Docker container. 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.
