⁠Connecting to your Host's XServer

For many use cases of CbmRoot you need a graphical user environment: browse your output files with TBrowser(), to look at histograms, etc. Here's how to use a GUI program in a Docker container and have it connect to your local X Server for any graphics output.

1. On the host machine, run: xhost si:localuser:root This allows the root user to connect to your X session.
2. Then you can start the docker application with the following commands:

Cmd:

docker run \
  -it \
  -v /tmp/.X11-unix:/tmp/.X11-unix \
  -e DISPLAY=unix$DISPLAY \
  pklaus/cbmroot:opensuse-42.3_DEC17 \
