Hello Everyone,

I'm using Dockerfile from this repo to build Matlab 2024b container. By default this container use old Desktop and to switch to new one manual steps using Add-ons was needed. I'm wondering if it would be possible to install New Desktop using MPM any soon ?

Many Thanks Jakub

Hi @Kubadrew

Could you please clarify which Dockerfile in this repository you are referring to? and also, how you are accessing the MATLAB Desktop, is it via the -vnc or the -browser flags?

Hello @prabhakk-mw

I'm referring to https://github.com/mathworks-ref-arch/matlab-dockerfile/blob/main/Dockerfile

My setup is docker running on WSL. WSLg is used for screen forwarding (more info here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/tutorials/gui-apps)

Thanks Jakub

@Kubadrew Thank you for clarifying!

@mw-skardile Do you have any thoughts to share on installing Add-Ons from the MathWorks File Exchange through MPM?

In the meantime, @Kubadrew have you considered saving the container after you have installed the Add-On? Perhaps this could be a useable workaround in the mean time?

Kindly refer to this documentation page on saving the container for more information.

Thank you.
