For more information, refer to these resources on how to use `xhost`[(1)](http://users.stat.umn.edu/~geyer/secure.html)[(2)](https://linux.die.net/man/1/xhost). + +Docker is primarily used to containerize background applications and CLI programs, but it can also run graphical programs. In the Linux world, two main graphic servers handle graphical display: [X11](https://www.x.org/wiki/) (also known as the X Window System) and [Wayland](https://wayland.freedesktop.org/). Before starting it's essential to determine which graphics server you're currently using. Just run this command to find out: + +```bash +env | grep -E -i 'x11|xorg|wayland' +``` + +Setup and configuration of an X11 or Wayland display server is outside the scope of this guide.

Alternatively, you can also install these programs in the Ultralytics Docker container to test the access to the X11 server of your GNU-Linux display server. If you run into any problems, consider setting the environment variable `-e QT_DEBUG_PLUGINS=1`. Setting this environment variable enables the output of debugging information, aiding in the troubleshooting process. + +### When finished with Docker GUI + +!!! warning "Revoke access" + + In both cases, don't forget to revoke access from the Docker group when you're done. + + ```bash + xhost -local:docker + ``` + +??? question "Want to view image results directly in the Terminal?" + + Refer to the following guide on [viewing the image results using a terminal](./view-results-in-terminal.md) + --- Congratulations!
