To run inkscape: docker run -rm -it -e DISPLAY= $ip:0 -v $HOME/Downloads:/root/Downloads apps inkscapeĪny changes made to gimp itself will be lost when the app is closed. This will also share the ~/Downloads folder with the container. Now the following commands should get gimp running: ip= $(ifconfig | grep "inet " | grep -v 127.0.0.1 | awk '')ĭocker run -rm -it -e DISPLAY= $ip:0 -v $HOME/Downloads:/root/Downloads apps Start XQuartz and allow connections from network clients in preferences > security. Check the version in home-brew by: brew cask info quartz. The stable version of xquartz may work if it is higher than 2.7.10. At the time of this writing the stable version of XQuartz (2.7.9) has a bug which prevents graphics forwarding. To run graphics inside docker containers, we will need X11 running on Mac. Next, build the docker image called apps: docker build -t apps. Open a terminal and create a Dockerfile inside a folder called apps. Next, we will pull a debian image and install gimp and inkscape in it. We can now interact with the docker daemon through the shell. Run the app from the launcher and it will go through the initial setup process. Lets install it using Homebrew: brew cask install docker However, latest version of docker for mac uses hypervisor to run operating system as a service and thus has more native feel. Before version 1.12, docker on Mac required installation of virtualbox and docker-machine to manage this linux virtual machine inside which the containers are run. Rather, it sets up a linux virtual machine and runs docker engine inside that. Since the apps require a linux environment, docker does not run natively in Mac and PC. Docker is also available for Mac and PC, which means we can run linux apps on these systems without installing a virtual machine.
Apps run inside containers, and have access to a file system, libraries and operating system pre-defined by a Dockerfile. Docker is an excellent tool to deploy apps to servers with tight control over its environment.
