No it only works on the console (through spice/vnc in this case, but display is :0 )

and I need to do a 'xhost +' first (not needed on my laptop strangely)

With the x2go remote display it simply don't work (not via unix socket, or tcp or hard coded $DISPLAY with the IP of the docker host)

Hmm, if it works with xhost+ this looks like a cookie issue. Do you have the matching cookie in your docker session (xauth list)?

I've tried all variations of $DISPLAY.

Also tried to use xhost+ etc. etc.

and my firefox docker contains the X unix socket.

It works on my laptop without additional work (same docker version)

It works on the x2go machine (connected through VNC/Spice) when I issue xhost + first

It simply doesn't work when I use the x2go display

Any ideas ?

It worked before, just don't know what did change

In the past, I edited /usr/bin/x2gostartagent and removed the "-nolisten tcp" part, and edited /etc/x2go/x2goagent.options to remove "-nolisten tcp"

It's not working, even a simple xeyes docker fails to open display:

vdheuvel@arthur:/data/home/vdheuvel$ docker run --rm -it --net=host -e DISPLAY -v $HOME/.Xauthority:/root/.Xauthority fr3nd/xeyes No protocol specified Error: Can't open display: :50.0 Makes sense, since it sounds like the UNIX socket is not passed through to the container.

I'm not sure why your TCP workaround worked in the past, though. The DISPLAY syntax should be local-socket-specific (either UNIX socket or abstract UNIX socket), without a fallback to TCP.

To use TCP connections, you'd have to specify DISPLAY=localhost:50.

The more curious thing here is that normally Xlib tries to connect via an abstract UNIX socket, which theoretically should be also available in a container - unless docker prohibits that, which would be plausible for security reasons.
