Hello,

I tried to run your docker qgis (without attaching to a postgis db) but it failed:

You need to change the environment variable in your compose file to DISPLAY=${ip}:0 , where ip is (in mac os x) ip=$(ifconfig en0 | grep inet | awk '$1=="inet" {print $2}')

Hi @ksketo ,

I am running this on Ubuntu 19
I guess that command fetches the ip-adress, but how would one construct that command when running multiple docker-containers etc? or could I just write the ip as in :
DISPLAY=127.0.0.1.:0
