gentoo-glx-desktop

docker-nvidia-glx-desktop

MATE Desktop container supporting GLX/Vulkan for NVIDIA GPUs by spawning its own X Server and noVNC WebSocket interface instead of using the host X server. Does not require /tmp/.X11-unix sockets set up.

Note: Requires privileged mode because of how Xorg works.

Use docker-nvidia-egl-desktop for a MATE Desktop container that directly accesses NVIDIA GPUs without using an X Server nor privileged mode (without Vulkan support).

Corresponding container toolkit on the host for allocating GPUs should be set up. Container startup should take some time as it automatically installs NVIDIA drivers.

Connect to the spawned noVNC WebSocket instance with a browser in port 5901, no VNC client required (password for the default user is 'vncpasswd').

For Docker use this configuration:

docker run --runtime=nvidia -e NVIDIA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0 --privileged -it -e SIZEW=1920 -e SIZEH=1080 -e SHARED=TRUE -e VNCPASS=vncpasswd -p 5901:5901 ehfd/nvidia-glx-desktop:latest
