wct-docker

Dockerized version of NOAA's Weather and Climate Toolki. But you need to have an X client installed on your docker host.

Usage

$ xhost local:root

This permits the root user on the local machine to connect to X windows display.

$ docker run --net=host -e DISPLAY -v $(pwd):/mydata bjoernreetz/wct

This runs a container with the following options:

• --net=host: host networking, the container is not launched with an isolated network stack. Instead, all networking interfaces of the host are directly accessible inside the container.
• -e DISPLAY: pass through the DISPLAY environment variable from the host into the container. This tells GUI programs where to send their output.
• -v $(pwd):/mydata: map the current working directory on the host to the /mydata folder inside the container.

$ xhost -local:root

When done using, revoke root's permission to connect to X windows display.
