Hello!
To display your GUI application running inside a Docker container on the Weston compositor of your host, there are a few key areas to consider, especially given the differences in architecture and Weston versions.
-
Wayland Socket Sharing: Ensure that the Wayland socket is correctly shared between the host and the container. This typically involves bind-mounting the Wayland socket from the host into the container. You can achieve this with a Docker run command like:
docker run -v /run/user/1000/wayland-0:/run/user/1000/wayland-0 -e WAYLAND_DISPLAY=wayland-0 ...Make sure the
XDG_RUNTIME_DIRis correctly set and accessible by the container. -
Permissions: Double-check that the container has the necessary permissions to access the display resources. This includes ensuring that the
XDG_RUNTIME_DIRenvironment variable is set correctly and that the container has access to the necessary device files. -
Architecture Compatibility: Since your container is running on an aarch64 architecture while your host is x86_64, ensure that any binaries or libraries used by your application are compatible with the host architecture. This might require using a cross-compilation toolchain or ensuring that the application is architecture-independent.
-
Troubleshooting: Check the logs of both the Weston compositor and your application for any errors or warnings that might indicate what is going wrong. You can access the logs using Docker’s logging capabilities:
docker logs <container_id>
By focusing on these areas, you should be able to diagnose and resolve the issue with displaying your GUI application on the host’s Weston compositor.
If you have any more questions or need further assistance, feel free to ask!
