danielzt12/pyrod repository overview

GUI data explorer for the ESRF-BM32 beamline

This one is messy, but I will try to clean up the code later.

To run it on OS X:

Follow the instructions here https://cntnr.io/running-guis-with-docker-on-mac-os-x-a14df6a76efc⁠

In case the link expires, this is a short version of what needs to be done.

1 install socat to create bidirectional streams between the docker container and the X window system

brew install socat

socat TCP-LISTEN:6000,reuseaddr,fork UNIX-CLIENT:\"$DISPLAY\"

2 install xquartz, open preferences, go to security and turn on allow connections from network clients

3 check your ip with ifconfig en0 (or en1 in my case), and put it in the DISPLAY environment variable

docker run -e DISPLAY=YOUR_IP_HERE:0 danielzt12/pyrod:latest

To run it on Linux:

docker run --net=host --env="DISPLAY" --volume="$HOME/.Xauthority:/root/.Xauthority:rw" danielzt12/pyrod:latest

To run it on Windows:

Follow the instructions here https://dev.to/darksmile92/run-gui-app-in-linux-docker-container-on-windows-host-4kde⁠

In case the link expires, here is a short version of what needs to be done.

1 Install VcXsrv from https://sourceforge.net/projects/vcxsrv/⁠

2 Run Xlaunch from the start menu, select multiple windows, start no client, and click on disable access control

Save the configuration to %userprofile%\Desktop

3 open a powershell terminal and type ipconfig to find out your IP

4 In the same powershell terminal, set the environmental variables with

set-variable -name DISPLAY -value YOUR_IP_HERE:0.0

5 docker run --rm -e DISPLAY=$DISPLAY danielzt12/pyrod:latest

Using mount

To mount local volume in the container, add the following to the docker run script

-v absolute_path_to_host_data:absolute_path_to_host_data:ro

the 2nd parameter is actually the path to the data in the container but needs to be set as identical to the host path

ro = read-only
