Resolving video capture error in Docker container after restarting nvargus-daemon

The following command correctly captures video within a Docker container.

gst-launch-1.0 nvarguscamerasrc ! fakesink

Afterwards, I restart the nvargus-daemon on the host side with command below.

sudo systemctl restart nvargus-daemon.service

Then, when executing the same pipeline within the Docker container, an error occurs. The error details are as follows:

$ gst-launch-1.0 nvarguscamerasrc ! fakesink
(Argus) Error FileOperationFailed: Connecting to nvargus-daemon failed: Connection refused (in src/rpc/socket/client/SocketClientDispatch.cpp, function openSocketConnection(), line 204)
(Argus) Error FileOperationFailed: Cannot create camera provider (in src/rpc/socket/client/SocketClientDispatch.cpp, function createCameraProvider(), line 106)

Execution ended after 0:00:00.001811255
Setting pipeline to NULL ...
Freeing pipeline ...

When executing the same pipeline on the host side, no error occurs.

If I recreate the Docker container, I can execute it again without any error from within Docker. However, since I want to carry out this process while an application is running inside Docker, I am looking for a way to capture video again while remaining inside the container.

Is there a way to avoid the error within Docker?

The reason I want to do this is because, as per the question at the following URL, there is a phenomenon where the camera video occasionally stops, and in such cases, by restarting the nvargus-daemon, it is necessary to continue the application with minimal interruption.

Run the docker to mount /tmp instead of /tmp/argus_socket like below.

docker run -dit --gpus all --privileged -e DISPLAY=$DISPLAY  -v /tmp/:/tmp/ --network=host --name=xxxx

Your solution works.
