	CloudCompare w/ NVIDIA OpenGL Ubuntu 18.04 base

Instructions

Pull the latest container from Docker-Hub:

docker pull tswetnam/cloudcompare:latest

Build the container yourself:

git clone https://github.com/tyson-swetnam/cloudcompare-docker && \
cd cloudcompare-docker
docker build -t tswetnam/cloudcompare:latest .

Windows

TBD

Linux

To run a Docker GUI container with OpenGL on Intel graphics (e.g. Atmosphere Virtual Machines, Intel NUCs):

NOT SECURE

xhost +local:root
docker run -ti --rm -e "DISPLAY=unix$DISPLAY" -v="/tmp/.X11-unix:/tmp/.X11-unix:rw" -v /home/$USER/:/temp --privileged tswetnam/cloudcompare:latest CloudCompare

This method is okay on CyVerse Atmosphere, where you're running in your own Web Desktop environment.

Mac OS X

Singularity

You can run the Docker container with Singularity (for HPC use).

singularity exec docker://tswetnam/cloudcompare:latest CloudCompare

University of Arizona HPC

Log into the HPC

ssh -X $USER@hpc.arizona.edu

Select a system from the Bastion

ocelote -X

Start a GPU node

qsub -X -I -N cloudcompare -m bea -W group_list=$GROUP -q windfall -l select=1:ncpus=28:mem=168gb:ngpus=1 -l cput=1:0:0 -l walltime=1:0:0

Load Cuda and Singularity

module load cuda80/gtk
module load singularity

Run the container and start CloudCompare

singularity exec --bind /xdisk/$USER docker://tswetnam/cloudcompare:latest CloudCompare

If you get an error, you may need to reset the DISPLAY.

Find out what the local display is:

echo $DISPLAY

Run Docker container as shell

singularity shell --bind /xdisk/$USER docker://tswetnam/cloudcompare:latest

From the Singularity shell:

export DISPLAY=localhost:50.0

Start CloudCompare
