Start pyqt5 app automatically on start-up in docker

voqtuyen

I am running an pyqt5 app inside docker normally with commands

xhost +si:localuser:root
docker run -it -e DISPLAY=$DISPLAY -v /tmp/.X11-unix:/tmp/.X11-unix -v /etc/localtime:/etc/localtime:ro loggingface_ui

However, when i need add it to auto-start on system start-up or even from remote ssh, i am unable to start it and get the logs:

qt.qpa.screen: QXcbConnection: Could not connect to display localhost:10.0
Could not connect to any X display.

How do i solve this issue?

Looks like there is no X11 running at that time. But I'm not docker expert.

localhost:10 is usually the ssh passthrough for x11 forwarding to your local display. I know its insecure but temporarily enable any x11 connection (on the machine you logged in and are running X11 by using xhost + ...I can guarantee your problem is xauth related, but not enough information to tell ou how to fix without turning off all X11 authentication.
