@pennyfea @joel-mb Is there a solution already here to run Carla Simulator using Docker ?

[pennyfea]

@joel-mb No, sorry I couldn't figure it out and abandoned this approach.

Hi, there are some parts that doesn't look right.

"/tmp/.X11unit" u"/usr/share/vulkan/icd.d" looks like linux paths and not a windows path.

Do you use a x11 server on your windows machine? If you try to use X11 on widows, you need a software to show a window (or you use "-RenderOffScreen" for no window)

On an ubuntu system, it looks like this

sudo apt-get install -y nvidia-docker2
sudo systemctl restart docker
xhost +
sudo docker run --privileged --gpus all --net=host -e DISPLAY=$DISPLAY -e SDL_VIDEODRIVER=x11 -v /tmp/.X11-unix:/tmp/.X11-unix:rw carlasim/carla:0.9.13 /bin/bash ./CarlaUE4.sh -vulkan

I'm having the exact same issue, it just exits with exit code 1 but without any error

Please write down everything you tried.

Did you open a command line in the docker container and check if nvidia-smi works? Did you use "-RenderOffScreen"? Did you follow the documentation?
