How to pass display through code-server docker edition?

[tydaytygx]

For example I want to use turtle GUI with Python3

from turtle import *

Could I use browser to show the GUI display?
I got python3-tk installed but it shows the error like this

_tkinter.TclError: no display name and no $DISPLAY environment variable

You need noVNC to access that. @jsjoeio can you try checking if you can install noVNC on the docker editions?

I am not familiar with noVNC so I'm not sure I can help much here!

If you're using Docker though, couldn't you add the environment variables needed to use turtle to your Dockerfile?

Thanks for the reply. I would try.

I run the docker container on a non-GUI linux server, should I create a virtual display to forward the GUI?

Afaik, I use Gitpod and they kinda use containers. Their Docker images with noVNC(source code here) use x11vnc, Openbox and some code to put it together. However, I wonder if it'd work here too.

maybe? I'm not super familiar with virtual displays so I can't help much here :(
