Cannot display pyvista plot in docker container

Errors

I found the solution. Basically, if you run docker in VS there is no connection between the container and host’s X-server.
In the following link there are many ways to solve the issue:

http://wiki.ros.org/docker/Tutorials/GUI

I am following (for now) the 1st method that means to run:

xhost +local:root 

docker run -it \
     --net=host \
     --env="DISPLAY" \
     --env="QT_X11_NO_MITSHM=1" \
     --volume="/tmp/.X11-unix:/tmp/.X11-unix:rw" \
     --volume="$HOME/.Xauthority:/home/developer/.Xauthority:rw" \
     --volume="/media/Discone/Fenics/Docker:/media/Discone/Fenics/Docker" \
     --workdir="/media/Discone/Fenics/Docker"\
     dolfinx/dolfinx

of course the following are personal:
–volume="/media/Discone/Fenics/Docker:/media/Discone/Fenics/Docker"
–workdir="/media/Discone/Fenics/Docker"\

after working in docker container, run:

xhost -local:root

that returns access control to default.
