This is a repository to allow the installation of qtiplot on systems where pre-built packages are not available or compiling is very messy if not impossible. This docker file is based in a debian buster image from docker, allowing X11 forwarding as well.
To install, just build the dockerfile above, as:
$ cd qtiplot_docker
$ docker build -t qtiplot_debian .
After building everything, we need to allow a couple of things. First of all, we need to allow local X11 connections, as follows:
$ xhost +local:docker
The execute this on the first run
$ docker run -it --env=DISPLAY --env=QT_X11_NO_MITSHM=1 --volume=/tmp/.X11-unix:/tmp/.X11-unix:rw --volume=/etc/group:/etc/group:ro --volume=/etc/passwd:/etc/passwd:ro --volume=/etc/shadow:/etc/shadow:ro --volume=/etc/sudoers.d:/etc/sudoers.d:ro --workdir="/home/$USER" --volume="/home/$USER:/home/$USER" qtiplot_debian
If everything works, QtiPlot should show. You can now close the application. TO avoid multiple containers, blease do not execute the line above twice or more. Now, Disallow the X11 local connections (for security):
$ xhost -local:docker
And to start the docker image a second time, start the exited container, of which the name can be found as follows:
$ docker container ls --all
This should give back a name, which needs to be substituted to CONTAINER_NAME in the QtiPlot.sh script in this repository.
Please, add execution permissions to the script on your system if not present.
