Getting X11 GUI applications to work on OS X with Docker

$ brew install socat
$ brew cask install xquartz <--- assuming you don't already have XQuartz installed some other way
$ open -a XQuartz <--- start an XQuartz session

$ socat TCP-LISTEN:6000,reuseaddr,fork UNIX-CLIENT:\"$DISPLAY\"

In a new terminal:

$ inconfig

Look for the IP address assigned to your Docker VM; the interface will be something like vboxnet0 or vboxnet1

$ docker run --rm -e DISPLAY=[IP address of vboxnet0]:0 [image] [command]

For example, to run the Arduino IDE, I've used

$ docker run --rm -e DISPLAY=192.168.99.1:0 davechick/arduino-dev arduino

Thanks for your script
