resolve VS x11docker

Hi, I'm new to using podman but have been attempting to run DaVinci Resolve in a container as outlined here: https://github.com/fat-tire/resolve

Hello, I m noob on OpenSuse and Microos. I like very much it. I would like to install Davinci resolve in a container and use podman for lunch it. I would like to use: https://github.com/fat-tire/resolve . Someone already test it? I wouldn't use Nvidia driver on my microos but I would like to use it in a container? Is it possible?

Running GUI applications in containers isn't easy, there are tools that set it up for you like distrobox, but you lose out on most of the sandboxing that way. A much simpler way to isolate GUI apps is Flatpak (or snap). Discord is available on Flathub, but I couldn't find any alternative packages for Resolve. There is, however, this repo that has the containerfile to wrap the Studio version, which isn't as simple as a Flatpak, but it's a whole lot easier than figuring out the container for yourself.

Only for lack of hardware to test it on. There is an open issue if you want to try your hand at getting it to work on non-NVidia, though it will run best on some kind of dedicated GPU due to the heavy graphics operations it does.

See https://github.com/fat-tire/resolve/issues/8

FWIW, you might want to try running Resolve out of a container (Docker / Podman) : https://github.com/fat-tire/resolve

Let me also point you in the direction of https://github.com/fat-tire/resolve

I don't know anything about Xwayland, but according there's this sentence in this socat writeup:

> If you want to access an X server that does not provide -listen tcp (Xwayland) or just did not have enabled it during startup (like most likely your host Xorg), you can use socat to provide TCP/IP access.

I've run into this before, but I never ended up using it: https://github.com/mviereck/x11docker

I managed to “fix” the error log messages by following this guide: https://github.com/mviereck/x11docker/wiki/How-to-connect-container-to-DBus-from-host

at least, I'd suggest you take a look at https://github.com/mviereck/x11docker/issues/418

x11docker would be a good starting point to see what is possible: https://github.com/mviereck/x11docker and in particular https://github.com/mviereck/x11docker/wiki/Display-manager-entry-for-x11docker .

Instead of using a homegrown solution, check out x11docker. It attempts to safely allow you to use x inside a container. There are certain cases where a malicious actor could take over your computer if you don't mount the relevant things safely.

This is what I use x11docker for!

It's straighforward to have your container talk to Xorg directly but for a better experience take a look at https://github.com/mviereck/x11docker as it does the heavy lifting regarding GPU, sounds, devices, etc.
