Failed to run Docker image after build

[chrish10r]

I'm a newbie in the docker and Qt world, so bear with me.. I've "succeeded" in building a docker image with the following Dockerfile:

When I try to run the docker image in Docker Desktop I get the following error:

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, xcb.

Aborted

The docker image is built without any errors. But when I try to run the docker I get the above error. How do I fix this?

Looks like no X server is running in your Docker image?

[chrish10r]

@jsulm Could you please elaborate? What is an X-server and how do I include this in my Docker image? Sorry, I'm quite new to this...
