X11 Forwarding with with Docker containers

I got PuTTY working with Xming on my Windows machine to run GUI applications over SSH from my Jetson Orin Nano.

Things are running smoothly outside of Docker — I can launch xeyes, xclock, etc. just fine. However, I’m hitting a wall when trying to run GUI applications inside a Docker container. The container has DISPLAY set to localhost:10.0, and I’ve mounted /tmp/.X11-unix, but im getting this error when trying to run xeyes: Error: Can't open display: localhost:10.0 inside the container.

Any tips on handling X11 forwarding into Docker under SSH + Xming? Appreciate any pointers!

Hi,
This would need other users to share experience. X11 forwarding is not validated on default release so we don’t have much experience about the use-case.
