Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

Working on it

Same here. I did this to make it work:

sudo pacman -S xorg-xhost

Then disable access control from X11:

xhost +

And run the docker command again. It worked then.

[sickcodes]

Thanks Raoulh!

Worked a treat! @raoulh

@sickcodes thanks for your awesome work!

Just in case this helps people who would like to run this headless. I saw that there is a really helpful EXTRA variable that may be utilized to start qemu's built-in VNC server. For instance:

sudo docker run -it --device /dev/kvm -p5910:5900 -p 50922:10022 -v /tmp/.X11-unix:/tmp/.X11-unix -e "DISPLAY=${DISPLAY:-:0.0}" -e GENERATE_UNIQUE=true -e TERMS_OF_USE=i_agree -e EXTRA='-vnc :0' sickcodes/docker-osx:auto

Will run docker-osx:auto with VNC port 5910 on the host machine forwarded to qemu's VNC server started at 5900 as per the EXTRA variable. The default VNC password appears to be alpine.

I am getting this on windows. Is there a way to wix it?

@gopalkhasria
I've got it working using the updated command found in PR #774.

docker run  --device /dev/kvm -v /run/desktop/mnt/host/wslg/.X11-unix:/tmp/.X11-unix -v /run/desktop/mnt/host/wslg:/mnt/wslg -e DISPLAY=:0 sickcodes/docker-osx:ventura
