Using Docker for Mac 1.12 (stable) and OS X 10.11.5 (15F34), I'm attempting to make one of my containers forward to X11.
First, I install XQuartz from my bash shell:
$ brew cask install xquartz

==> Verifying checksum for Cask xquartz
==> Running installer for xquartz; your password may be necessary.
==> Package installers may write to any location; options such as --appdir are ignored.
Password:
==> installer: Package name is XQuartz 2.7.9
==> installer: Installing at base path /
==> installer: The install was successful.
🍺 xquartz staged at '/usr/local/Caskroom/xquartz/2.7.9' (73M)
Then I continue with setting up XQuartz...
open -a XQuartz
In the XQuartz Preferences -> Security tab, I enable "Allow connections from network clients".
Then I am supposed to run xhost + $MY_IP_ADDRESS in my bash shell, but all I get is this error:
xhost: unable to open display ""
In the end, all guides I'm reading says I should run my container like this:
docker run -e DISPLAY=$MY_IP_ADDRESS:0 -v /tmp/.X11-unix:/tmp/.X11-unix DOCKER_IMAGE
...but that doesn't work. In my particular container, I get this error:
... cannot connect to X server 10.0.0.131:0
What am I doing wrong?
Turns out there's a bug in XQuartz 2.7.9.
When using XQuartz 2.7.10_beta2, it works.
