# How to install Citrix Bridge Server using a Docker container

In this document, you’ll find a step-by-step guide on how to perform the installation of Citrix Bridge Server via docker, which is responsible for communicating with Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops through an [HDX](https://www.citrix.com/pt-br) protocol exclusive to Citrix.

## Requirements

- Linux with [Docker](https://docs.docker.com/engine/install/).
- [Fuse](https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/next/filesystems/fuse.html) module to transfer files.
- RDP port (3389) open.
- Network connection to the Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops server.
- Network connection to the server where applications run.
- Have the Segura™ Citrix Proxy container already installed.

## Install via Docker container

1. Download the [Citrix VAD Proxy](https://d.senhasegura.io/senhasegura-citrix-receiver-bridge) to get the `.tar.gz` file.
2. Open the **command prompt** application of your preference to unzip the file.
  1. Type `tar -zxvf docker-image_0.9.5-8.tar.gz`.
  2. Press the **Enter** key.
  3. The message `x xrdp-citrix-senhasegura-image_0.9.5-8.tar.gz` will be displayed, confirming that the image was generated.
3. Import the container image, type:
  1. `sudo docker load -i xrdp-citrix-senhasegura-image_0.9.5-8.tar.gz`
4. Start the container, type:

```
sudo docker run -d \
    --net host \
    --name xrdp-citrix-senhasegura-image_0.9.5-8 
    --device /dev/fuse \
    --cap-add SYS_ADMIN
xrdp-citrix-senhasegura-image:0.9.5-8
```
5. Perform the validation, type:
  1. `sudo docker ps`

This is the expected result after performing these steps:

```
CONTAINER ID   IMAGE                                   COMMAND       CREATED         STATUS         PORTS     NAMES
c679f44df088   xrdp-citrix-senhasegura-image:0.9.5-8   "/start.sh"   7 minutes ago   Up 7 minutes             xrdp-citrix-senhasegura-image_0.9.5-8
```

If file transfer and copy and paste don’t work, start the container by adding the command `--privileged`.

```
sudo docker rm -f xrdp-citrix-senhasegura-image_0.9.5-8

sudo docker run -d \
    --net host \
    --name xrdp-citrix-senhasegura-image_0.9.5-8 \
    --device /dev/fuse \
    --cap-add SYS_ADMIN --privileged xrdp-citrix-senhasegura-image:0.9.5-8
```

Citrix Server can also be installed and configured using the Segura™ Extended Service OVA, to find out how to perform this installation, access the How to install Citrix Bridge Server using Segura™ Extended Services OVA document.
