"`x11` support, `x11docker` is recommended" about ten-simple-rules-dockerfiles HOT 6 CLOSED

I haven't used it so I can't recommend - for actual stuff that needs display I usually build a Singularity container, which just works.

I've rephrased this, note recommending it but merely pointing out that it is possible.

@vsoch You mean that with Singularity, X11 applications will "just work" ? I've added that!

Please take a look at the PR if your concerns are addressed: #46

Yes the environment is fairly seamless, here is an example of building a game (rustarok) into a Docker container, and dumping into Singularity to actually use it (good luck interacting with video card / audio via Docker, I tried and it doesn't work) https://github.com/bbodi/rustarok/tree/master/docker

That's good to know (a/v working without hassle...). But is that just true for Linux?

I've not used Singularity; on Windows, it needs to be run via a Linux VM, right? Like Docker on old Windows machines?

Does the a/v work on a Mac without fuss, or are steps required on the host side to get it working?

Do we need to be mindful of folk who are using Windows hosts, albeit often interacting with Linux servers to the do work? So probably the most effective UI for them will be a terminal for CLI or a browser for any GUI?

Go go Google search!

Yes, exactly... the question was partly rhetorical. Windows is a pain... ;-) eg a Win 10 enterprise envt does give you docker straightforwardly, but lesser Win 10 requires Virtualbox and a trip to the BIOS to faff around with virtualisation settings.
