Napari in Docker

Build¶

Builds are avilable through dockerhub

A dockerfile is added to napari root to allow build of a docker image using official napari release. Note that napari in docker is still in alpha stage and not working universally, feedback and contribution also welcomed.

To build the image, run from napari root

docker build -t napari/napari:<version> .

which would build a docker image tagged with napari version

Usage¶

Enable XServer on the host machine, these can be useful if you are looking for options:

Windows: vcxsrc
MacOS: xquartz (may not work due to graphical driver issue with opengl)

To run a container with external mapping of display, an example being:

docker run -d  -e DISPLAY=host.docker.internal:0 napari/napari:0.3.6 python3 /tmp/examples/add_image.py
