how to display qemu in container by graphics #35

Hi @fengjinyuan,

Here is a way I've used to get graphical qemu output using the publicvnc argument with runqemu.

  1. Forward the vnc port when you start the container. Using docker run, add -p 5900:5900 to the command line. For example: docker run -p 5900:5900 ...

  2. Setup your build environment as normal.

  3. Start qemu using runqemu and use the publicvnc argument. pokyuser@241af804767d:/build$ runqemu slirp publicvnc core-image-sato

  4. Outside of the container on the host, use a vnc client to connect to the vncserver that was started by qemu. For example: ~% vncviewer -FullColor localhost:5900

You could also start a vncserver manually inside the container rather than using the one builtin to qemu. But if these instructions work for you, I don't want to overload you with options.
