        @john_hobbyist change FROM python:3 to FROM ubuntu:latest. "python: 3" uses a minimalistic version of linux that does not have some packages. Also remove RUN apt-get install qt5-default -y and RUN ldd /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/qt5/plugins/platforms/libqxcb.so. If you can't find the pip command then add first: RUN apt install python3-pip

            @john_hobbyist mmm, you seem to not fully read my comment: add RUN apt install -y python3-pip before RUN pip3 install opencv-python-headless

                  @eyllanesc Ok, it builds this, but I cannot run it obviously because I need the rest packages...

                  I included the rest packages on Dockerfile and I get, among others, this again:

                  Got keys from plugin meta data ("webgl")

                  }

                  qt.qpa.plugin: Could not load the Qt platform plugin "xcb" in "" even though it was found.
                  This application failed to start because no Qt platform plugin could be initialized. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem.
                  
                  Available platform plugins are: eglfs, linuxfb, minimal, minimalegl, offscreen, vnc, wayland-egl, wayland, wayland-xcomposite-egl, wayland-xcomposite-glx, webgl, xcb.
                  

                  Any idea??

                    As said earlier, Docker does not have access to your X server.

                    There are several ways to achieve that but it looks like this tool is quite interesting.

                      When I run an image I see the result on my pc? I mean the application result is displayed on my pc?

                        That's the goal of the tool, to allow the application to connect to an X server so that it can display its content.

                          Because now I hit: "sudo docker run <IMAGE ID>" the OS does not complain with errors or something, but I do not see the application running on my laptop...What is going on?

                            Check the logs of your container.

                            And if I may, you should avoid running docker using sudo. Add your user to the docker group so you can do things directly.

                              So the problem is that Docker cannot run PyQt/GUI application, if I have understood correctly??

                                It may but you have additional work do to in order for it to be able to do that as shown by the tool I suggested above.

                                  I found this tutorial: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/24095968/docker-for-gui-based-environments which as I see matches with https://github.com/mviereck/x11docker (that you posted), however I cannot understand if this command:

                                  nividia-docker run --interactive --tty --env DISPLAY=$DISPLAY --volume /tmp/.X11-unix/:/tmp/.X11-unix/ <docker_iamge> 
                                  

                                  demands to have NVIDIA GPU?? I run the docker on Kubuntu 20.04.1 LTS running on a VMware, so I cannot access GPU...

                                    You can use that one if you have setup docker to run with NVIDIA hardware however, you can see from the main answer that it's not required at all.

                                      So, what are the steps to make this tool https://github.com/mviereck/x11docker#single-applications work and generally to make the PyQt GUI application run on the docker?? Because I have tried a few tutorials, such as this: https://askubuntu.com/questions/1161646/is-it-possible-to-run-docker-container-and-show-its-graphical-application-window and this: https://askubuntu.com/questions/1249043/run-simple-x11-app-in-docker-container-on-ubuntu-20-04 and the only thing I get is errors!!

                                      Such as this one:

                                        X11-apps is not available on x86_64 architecture for Ubuntu 20.10.

                                        In any case, you should not need it to run your application.
