Run a graphical app in docker on OSX

Note: Replace 192.168.0.5 below by your own interface ip

mac $ socat TCP-LISTEN:6000,reuseaddr,fork UNIX-CLIENT:\"$DISPLAY\"
mac $ docker run --device=/dev/tty0 -e DISPLAY=192.168.0.5:0 -i -t ubuntu /bin/bash
ubuntu $ apt-get update && apt-get install -y firefox
ubuntu $ firefox

If socat is not installed on your mac, install it with brew: brew install socat.

If XQuartz is not installed on your mac : https://www.xquartz.org/

If you get "Couldn't open libGL.so.1: libGL.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory" while running the program (here, firefox) : apt-get install -y libglu1-mesa

Solution is not secure (publishes a TCP port linking to your X11 display socket).
