[Question] It is possible run G-Earth in Docker?

[lpsm-dev]

Overview

I would like to know if it is possible to run G-Earth in a containerized way with Docker. I still don't understand how G-Earth works, so this might be a dumb question.

I don't know if you can run gui applications in docker, but g-earth has the functionalities to start it in the command line and specify connection mode/host/port. At that point you could have an extension connected to do anything you want, so the gui becomes obsolete. Or did you have something else in mind?

I wanted to run my G-Python and G-Earth extension as a container in Docker, I forgot that when running G-Earth there was a GUI application. I currently have a project called GEX to create dummy extensions for G-Earth using G-Python and I had this wish.

I thought about the possibility of G-Earth working as a CLI, but I understand that most users prefer a GUI.

In this attempt to run a container with the G-Python extensions, I had port problems... I currently believe that it is not possible to modify the default communication port 9092, or add a list of ports in a specific range.
