I am relatively new to working with Docker, so any help with my problem would be appreciated. Thank you.
Problem
Unable to properly mount the x11 to a docker container with the requisite drivers. Read a number of forums on getting a GUI app to run in a container, however still not able to get the script for fully run.
What’s the goal: Run a script using Mayavi module which creates an image.
Environment:

One attempt to mount X11 to container:
ip = $(ifconfig en0 | grep inet | awk ‘$1=“inet” {print $2}’
xhost +$ip
docker run -it -e DISPLAY=$ip:0 --name blahblahblah -v /tmp/.X11-unix:/tmp/.X11-unix test_run
RESULT:

Another attempt to mount X11:
