GPlates GUI in a Docker container This Dockerfile installs an interactive GPLATES 2.1 instance. GPlates uses open OpenGL, and if you have an NVIDIA card you need to allow the GUI forwarded through the X-Server/Host to run with the NVIDIA drivers. Hence, the seemingly weird choice of base image being from NVIDIA opengl. But this is a good general example for how to get any GUI based docker image running on your NVIDIA host.

Set your xhost to allow connections through docker:
