Docker image for running X GUI apps with OpenGL hardware acceleration via the mesa drivers.

docker-opengl-mesa

Builds a Docker image that allows sharing the local X display for graphical apps on a system that uses the Mesa OpenGL implementation (Intel graphics, etc). OpenGL and DRI direct hardware acceleration are supported.

Requires Docker 1.3.0 or greater.

.. attention::

This approach for using graphical applications in Docker is highly discouraged. The resulting Docker image will not be portable; it depends both on the host graphics device and the graphics driver version. Instead the thewtex/opengl <https://github.com/thewtex/docker-opengl> Docker image is recommended.
