I would like to install PyCharm on an EC2 container running Debian in order to graphically edit and debug code
I get the error "Unable to detect graphics environment"
How does one use a web browser as a GUI (ie port forwarding)
If relevant, my local machine is windows and I connect through docker

I'm running a Nest.js app over Windows 10 using WSL2 (Windows Subsystem for Linux) and Docker.
I would like to be able to run the app without a windows login session.
For the moment once I login to Windows Docker finds WSL2 on my machine and starts (and so is my Nest application), which is great, but I would like it to start without a windows login session. Any ideas on how to do this?
I'm using the default Ubuntu WSL distribution and Docker for WSL2.
My work computer doesn't have a network connection.
But I need to install specific appxs.
I installed Windows Terminal from .msixbundle file.
I installed Ubuntu 20.04 (WSL distro) from .appx file.
They were downloaded and moved to my pc from another pc with internet connection.
When I run one of them an error occurs:
We want to make sure this is you. User interaction is required for authentication.
Or
The network location cannot be reached. For information about network troubleshooting, see Windows Help.
What does it mean? What do I need to do in order to run those apps without internet connection?
I am trying to connect docker running on MacOS. I have a Windows 10 VM running on Mac and instead of installing docker again in VM(which usually runs in many issues), I'd like to connect to docker running on Mac. Can someone point me to a tutorial or some answer. I am novice in docker.
Have you already installed Docker Desktop for Mac?
After you've got Docker up and running, tell it where your projects are:
Open Docker Preferences
Click the File Sharing icon in the icon bar at the top of the window
Click the plus button at the bottom of the path list
Select the folder that contains all your projects
Click Apply & Restart
If you need to have your Windows VM connect to your Docker containers running on macOS, you'll need find out if Windows can access your Mac via networking. You will also need to modify your Windows hosts file to point to your Mac's IP address.
I am unable to run linux containers as I run Docker in my development vm which has visual studio installed and I have not been ablt to get it working yet as it is an unsupported scenario and many of the google solutions have unfortunately not resolved it for me.
However, I was thinking that maybe I could keep Docker Desktop running on my dev vm (so that VS would be happy it was still "local") but actually have the Docker engine/daemon bit running on a remote host where linux containers actually work - is it possible to repoint Docker Desktop for Windows to a Docker engine on a remote host?
Apologies if my terminology is rubbish, I am new to Docker. Also, I have done some searching and have seen articles and messages talking about docker machine and DOCKER_HOST environment variables, but I cannot see anything yet that applies to Docker Desktop (e.g. I don't have that env variable set on my docker windows vm so maybe it doesn't use that mechanism).
Thanks in advance
I have a hard time finding information about this. Somewhere I've seen news that Docker has now natively been integrated to Windows. So apparently this means they are not "Linux container" but some kind of "Windows containers"? Does anyone have more information on this?
There has been a significant update thanks to many Docker acquisitions, such as Unikernel. Now it is possible to install beta (as of April '16) of Windows program running Docker without any hassle.
Faster and more reliable: no more VirtualBox! The Docker engine is running in an Alpine Linux distribution on top of an xhyve Virtual Machine on Mac OS X or on a Hyper-V VM on Windows, and that VM is managed by the Docker application.
UPDATE (September '17)
Full native support available here.
An integrated, easy-to-deploy development environment for building, debugging and testing Docker apps on a Windows PC. Docker for Windows is a native Windows app deeply integrated with Hyper-V virtualization, networking and file system, making it the fastest and most reliable Docker environment for Windows.
Microsoft has added containerization primitives to the Windows kernel and are helping porting Docker Engine to Windows. That means you can run native Windows containers with Docker on Windows Server 2016. It's been in tech preview for a while and is free to try. Details here: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/virtualization/windowscontainers/quick_start/manage_docker?f=255&MSPPError=-2147217396
I have read this:
https://azure.microsoft.com/blog/2015/04/16/docker-client-for-windows-is-now-available/
As you can read there is only interface to manage docker containers inside Linux so far.
Currently (October 2016) there're a mess here.
Windows Server 2016 and Windows 10 build 1607 (Anniversary Update) support Docker containers natively. Obviously only with Windows as base images. Moreover only with Windows Server 2016 (Nano or Core).
But there's also Docker for Windows - which is the only suggested option on https://www.docker.com/products/docker#/windows. It's easily can be thought that that Docker is the one which runs natively on Windows. But it isn't!
Docker for Windows uses a VM with Linux to host all containers. So you can't pull Windows images.
So a try to pull an image will fail with "unknown blog" error:
C:\>docker pull microsoft/nanoserver
Using default tag: latest
latest: Pulling from microsoft/nanoserver
5496abde368a: Retrying in 1 second
94b4ce7ac4c7: Downloading
unknown blob
So Docker for Windows can be used only for Linux images!
How f... it's obvious, right?
For "real native Docker" (to run Windows container) we currently have download and install it manually as described in this manual - https://msdn.microsoft.com/virtualization/windowscontainers/quick_start/quick_start_windows_10
