Run pyqt5 on docker with ui file

[eranp03]

How to run simple python code that open UI file in a Windows container on Docker
Paython:

from PyQt5.QtWidgets import QMainWindow, QApplication
from PyQt5 import uic
import sys


class Ui(QMainWindow):
    def __init__(self):
        super(Ui, self).__init__()
        uic.loadUi('mainWindow.ui', self)
        self.show()

app = QApplication(sys.argv)
window = Ui()
app.exec_()

Dockerfile:

# set base image (host OS)
FROM python:3.7

# set the working directory in the container
WORKDIR /code

# copy the dependencies file to the working directory
COPY requirements.txt .

# install dependencies
RUN pip install -r requirements.txt

# copy the content of the local src directory to the working directory
COPY / .

# command to run on container start
CMD [ "python", "./main.py" ]

requirements file:

PyQt5==5.15.2
PyQt5-sip==12.8.1

the Docker build command

docker built -t myimage .

run the docker command:

docker run -e DISPLAY="My IP":0 -p 5000:5000 myimage

when I go to "127.0.0.1:5000" this is not working how to fix this?

@eranp03 said in Run pyqt5 on docker with ui file:

this is not working

What does not work? There is no error message anywhere? How is docker at issue here?

@JonB
There is no error message on CMD

only when I try to get

localhost:5000

Hi,

Your application does not run a web server therefore trying to access it with a web browser won't work.

You will have to have a X11 server running on your Windows machine.

See this article for an explanation about that.
