I can't run mlgtools container

[uebmaster]

Hi.

I've followed the instructions to run mlgtools container but when i execute:

docker run --rm -it -v $PWD:/data -v /tmp/.X11-unix:/tmp/.X11-unix ghcr.io/metaphorme/mgltools

I got:

setting PYTHONHOME environment
Run ADT from  /opt/mgltools/MGLToolsPckgs/AutoDockTools
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/opt/mgltools/MGLToolsPckgs/AutoDockTools/__init__.py", line 417, in runADT
    root = Tk()
  File "/opt/mgltools/lib/python2.7/lib-tk/Tkinter.py", line 1685, in __init__
    self.tk = _tkinter.create(screenName, baseName, className, interactive, wantobjects, useTk, sync, use)
TclError: couldn't connect to display "host.docker.internal:0"
hit enter to continue

I've tried too with the next docker-compose file:

version: '3.3'
services:
    metaphorme:
        ports:
            - '80:80'
        volumes:
            - '/var/run/docker.sock:/tmp/docker.sock:ro'
            - '$PWD:/data'
            - '/tmp/.X11-unix:/tmp/.X11-unix'
        restart: always
        logging:
            options:
                max-size: 1g
        image: ghcr.io/metaphorme/mgltools

But i got:

mlgtools-metaphorme-1  |     self.tk = _tkinter.create(screenName, baseName, className, interactive, wantobjects, useTk, sync, use)

What am i doing wrong?

Thanks in advance.

Conld you please make sure that you run this container on MacOS and have installed XQuartz?
MGLTools container have only test on MacOS. It maybe run well on Windows, but couldn't run on linux without other settings. For more information, please click.

Same problem for me:

  % docker run --rm -it -v $PWD:/data -v /tmp/.X11-unix:/tmp/.X11-unix ghcr.io/metaphorme/mgltools                                                                                                                                             !4501

I have macOS as well as XQuartz. I "partially" solved this following instructions here: https://gist.github.com/cschiewek/246a244ba23da8b9f0e7b11a68bf3285?permalink_comment_id=3477013#gistcomment-3477013

However, after following those, mlgtools container failed with:

@muammar Thanks for your detailed report!

The following error occurred:

X Error of failed request: GLXBadContext
Major opcode of failed request: 149 (GLX)

Serial number of failed request: 704
Current serial number in output stream: 703

I found a similar issue, I think this problem has to do with MacOS as local settings. Maybe you could do as follows to fix it:

• Make sure you have followed the installation instructions.
• Make sure you have installed the latest XQuartz(Version: 2.8.5(xorg-server 21.1.6))

Hope these could fix this problem. Have a nice day :)

@muammar I faced the same problem. However, after I added the command blow, it fixed my problem before adding the localhost to xhost.

• defaults write org.xquartz.X11 enable_iglx -bool true

I hope this can also fix your problem.
