[Qgis-user] running qgis Docker container on Mac?

[Matthias Kuhn]

Hi,

this container was designed for automated testing, hence the call to
this script.

What you want instead is to run QGIS (and not its tests), so you could
try something like


docker run qgis/qgis /root/QGIS/build/output/bin/qgis


I guess you will also need to do some additional tricks to get any
window to show up, docker is not designed to run gui application. IIRC
there's a thing called xquartz that can help here.

I have been trying to get QGIS installed on my machine (without having to muck around with my Qt dirs), so I tried the containerized route.  I downloaded qgis/qgis from hub.docker.com.  When I run it, though, I get an immediate exit:
