Docker on OS X #4

Closed djarecka closed 7 years ago

djarecka commented 7 years ago

Hi, are you planning to update the OS X instruction to run UI. I'm having problems with running and not sure if this is because I'm not using boot2docker. I'm just using Docker for Mac.

btw. Does this image can be also used to run ClearVolume?

@djarecka Sorry, the person who made this repository has left the project, and I have no time to support it or keep it up-to-date. When this repo was made, Docker for Mac did not exist yet, which is why it uses boot2docker. That approach, AFAIK, is now deprecated in favor of Docker Machine.

I do think Docker is going to become increasingly prevalent, and I am very interested in seeing this project continue and grow. I am actually in the process of switching to Docker for some of my group's server infrastructure internally, so eventually (in months or years) I will likely revisit this and update it. In the meantime, if anyone else in the community has time and energy, it would be much appreciated!

This is what works in my case, having Docker for Mac:

brew cask install xquartz
check echo $DISPLAY (if it's empty you can set export DISPLAY=:0.0)
open -a XQuartz
ip=$(ifconfig en0 | grep inet | awk '$1=="inet" {print $2}')
xhost + $ip
docker run --rm -v /tmp/.X11-unix:/tmp/.X11-unix -e DISPLAY=$ip:0 fiji/fiji

@djarecka Would you have time to submit a small PR to the README here, to include your directions above?

djarecka commented 7 years ago

yes, can do it this later this week. I'm trying to actually install and use ClearVolume from the docker, let's see if it will work, so I can also include it in the README.
