(I think I'm too used to VM software like VirtualBox offering an either/or between "NAT" and "bridged adapter.

Windows 10 Home Edition requires Docker Toolbox. NOTE: Docker Desktop does NOT work on Windows 10 Home Edition. On a side note I think they're jumbling up some terminology since docker's "bridge" sounds a lot more like NAT rather than bridging, and this page about host networking actually references NAT in passing as though that's the alternate to host networking:Įdit: As per maru's comment I think their terminology is actually correct: they define a bridge at the ethernet level, and the implicit NAT setup that comes along with it is an IP thing, so the configuration is on two different layers. Docker engine for Mac, Windows (Home),Windows (Pro, Educational, Enterprise), and Linux must be downloaded and installed in order to run the Docker Image. But whatever the case, if you're OK with the container and the host sharing the exact same network stack then it sounds like host networking should be fine. I still wasn't able to get my X server listening to incoming connections even with the right address with the container in bridge mode, but I think that's something about my own setup, separate from docker (the X server's port on the host looks open when checking localhost but closed when using its external-facing address). I think this is because, if $DISPLAY references localhost and you're using the default docker network setup ( -network=bridge), you get a separate IP address for the container and "localhost" inside the container refers to a different place than it does on the host OS.

Question: Are there any log files that I could look at? Any tips on debugging the issue?Īn old question, but as mentioned in another answer, -net=host worked for me when I just ran into this same problem just now (Ubuntu 16 LTS server and Mac OS client with XQuartz, via SSH). I have noticed that notebook uses :0 and desktop :1 but I don't think that is relevant.


This is actually working well in a notebook but fails in a desktop. Docker Desktop delivers the speed, choice and security you need for designing and delivering these containerized applications on your desktop. I have a docker container and I want to run an app that requires X11. Docker Desktop is an application for MacOS and Windows machines for the building and sharing of containerized applications and microservices.
