visit-docker

A docker setup for VisIt (https://wci.llnl.gov/simulation/computer-codes/visit/)

To start visit,

  1. Allow the root user to make connections to the running X server with, 
    xhost +local:root;
    (see xhost man page)
  2. Run the docker container, 
    docker run -it -e DISPLAY=$DISPLAY -v /tmp/.X11-unix:/tmp/.X11-unix:rw symerio/visit

FAQ

  1. How can I make settings persistant or give VisIt access to the data?

    One can mount any local folder within the container with the

    -v /host/directory:/container/directory

    option. For instance, to provide the user settings, add,

    -v ~/.visit/:/root/.visit/

  2. Which operating systems are supported?

    So far this setup has been tested on Linux. It might possibly be made to work on Mac OS X.

  3. Can I use hardware acceleration in this setup?

    So far OpenGL support is not working properly ( see symerio/visit-docker#1 )
