docker-kivy-rpi-headless

Docker base-image for headless Kivy applications on a Raspberry Pi

To run Kivy applications without an X server on the Raspberry Pi, the SDL libraries need to be re-compiled.

This image contains the necessary dependencies and matching SDL libraries to run a Kivy app without a graphics environment (headless).

How to Use

Dockerfile

This image is indended to be used as a base-image for Kivy applications:

FROM: mrtux/kivy-rpi-headless:2.1-bullseye

Requirements

The requirements Cython and Kivy are already satisfied by this container. Especially Kivy has been compiled with regard the SDL libraries, so it should not be overwritten.

The following requirements are safe and will match the installation in the container:

Cython==0.29.32
Kivy==2.1.0

To be a bit more flexible, the patch version can be omitted:

Cython~=0.29
Kivy~=2.1
