How to visualization in docker

1

Hi!
i created my docker container by the following command

docker run -it -v “$(pwd)”:/data --name=allpix2 gitlab-registry.cern.ch/allpix-squared/allpix-squared

In order to enable visualization, i added the following codes at the end of example.conf

[VisualizationGeant4]
mode = “none”
view_style = “wireframe”
trajectories_color_mode = “generic”
accumulate = 0
accumulate_time_step = 2s

However , when excuting, the following error occurred:

image1306×247 25.4 KB

What should i do to enable visualization in the provided docker? :heart: :heart: :heart:

Dear @lincy

unfortunately using Docker for graphical user interfaces is not straight-forward, which is why we compile the Docker version without the visualization module.

There are possibilities such as GitHub - mviereck/x11docker: Run GUI applications and desktops in docker and podman containers. Focus on security. but we have not looked into this ourselves.

Best regards,
Simon
