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

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

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.
