Document using local X

Open wernight opened this issue 9 years ago • 1 comments

Using flags --user $UID -e DISPLAY=$DISPLAY -v /tmp/.X11-unix:/tmp/.X11-unix:ro it should be possible to use the Docker's host X11 (as done for https://hub.docker.com/r/wernight/sikulix/). This needs some testing but would be worth documenting.

To get that to work, I made a writable to anyone home and force $HOME to that directory.

Hacking around to achieve the same, it seems to work.

Haven't tried piping X11, because with boot2docker this was not properly running on MacOS and I don't wanted to install X11 locally.

Have you tried it with "Docker for Mac" or are you using docker on linux?
