How to run a dockerized application which uses the host Xorg for graphics #docker #xorg
Raw
dockerized-application-xorg-connection.org

Connection to local Xorg from a dockerized application

  • One must deal with the security of Xorg for accepting connections. It should be better ways, but the best I found is xhost +, which disables the security.

Command for running the container

docker run -ti --rm \
       --net=host --device=/dev/dri -e DISPLAY=$DISPLAY \
       -v /tmp/.X11-unix:/tmp/.X11-unix \
       <docker image>
