Usage Example

alarm-ng is an X11 application and requires an X11 server to run. The following command will launch the ska-tango-images-alarm-ng image using a Linux host’s X11 server and connect to TANGO_HOST:

 docker run --security-opt label=type:container_runtime_t \
    --net=host --user $(id -u):$(id -g) \
    -e TANGO_HOST=$TANGO_HOST -e DISPLAY=$DISPLAY -e XAUTHORITY="/Xauthority" \
    -v /tmp/.X11-unix:/tmp/.X11-unix:z -v ${XAUTHORITY:-$HOME/.Xauthority}:/Xauthority:ro \
    --rm artefact.skao.int/ska-tango-images-alarm-ng:1.0.4

For running on macOS, you must have an XQuartz server running with the “Allow connections from the network clients” checked and you must provide your host IP address in the DISPLAY. For example,

MY_IP_ADDRESS=$(scutil --nwi | grep 'address' | head -n1 | cut -d':' -f2 | tr -d ' ')
docker run --net=host --user $(id -u):$(id -g) \
    -e TANGO_HOST=$TANGO_HOST -e DISPLAY="${MY_IP_ADDRESS}:0" -e XAUTHORITY="/Xauthority" \
    -v /tmp/.X11-unix:/tmp/.X11-unix:z -v ${XAUTHORITY:-$HOME/.Xauthority}:/Xauthority:ro \
    --rm artefact.skao.int/ska-tango-images-alarm-ng:1.0.4
