x11docker ERROR: Option --share needs an argument

[ghost]

Hi,

When I launch x11docker-gui I get this error:
x11docker ERROR: Option --share needs an argument

x11docker-gui: Startup of x11docker/kaptain was not successfull. Please install package kaptain or provide image x11docker/kaptain with: docker pull x11docker/kaptain

I don't get it, because I already have Kaptain Image: docker pull x11docker/kaptain
x11docker/kaptain latest 6f09e3ecdfc2 9 months ago 141MB

Any ideas why I get this error when I try to launch x11docker-gui only ?

Thank you for the report.

There has been a bug in x11docker-gui. Not sure how old it is, did not check it too long.
Please update to master version to get the fix with x11docker --update-master.

Ok, I did this command x11docker --update-master

But still the same error after launching x11docker-gui

oh, ok. Likely you have to wait some minutes until github generates a new zip file from the source code.
Please try again a bit later.

Ok no problem ;)

All good for me after git pull in the x11docker dir

Thanks a lot ;)

Great!

Have you tried to port x11docker to python as a pypi package, golang-go or even as a deb package ported to debian repos ?

There is a discussion about porting x11docker, maybe to golang.
Currently I am only skilled in bash scripting. I consider to learn C++ or python3 because I need advanced GUI capabilities for another project (microscopy-tools).

A debian package would be already possible with the current bash script. If the Debian maintainers would consider to include x11docker, I would be honored. Though, I didn't ask for it.
For arch, alpine and NixOS there are already packages set up by volunteers.

FTR, eventually there might be a package on MSYS2 too: msys2/MINGW-packages#8044.

Very nice,

Wish I can help, Unfortunately I just know bash also.

@umarcor Thank you for your PR at MingW!

@eine You might be interested to have a look there, too. msys2/MINGW-packages#8044
