Run command below before you run your container
xhost local:root
The above command allows root user to temporaly access X session of the current user
In order to run Lazarus IDE inside docker, it's possible to set parameters in two different ways:
docker run --rm -it -e DISPLAY=$DISPLAY -v /tmp/.X11-unix:/tmp/.X11-unix --privileged glaucosginez/lazarus startlazarus
The problem in above command is the use o --privileged option, this option tell to docker that he grant access to host devices to the container
docker run --rm -it -e DISPLAY=$DISPLAY -v /tmp/.X11-unix:/tmp/.X11-unix --security-opt seccomp=unconfined glaucosginez/lazarus startlazarus
The above command is better than first because it uses --security-opt seccomp=unconfined instead --privileged
The --privileged or --security-opt seccomp=unconfined are required for the gdb debugger ro run correctly
