Ignition

Hello everyone,

i'm trying to deploy the Ignition Vision Client on Docker as I would like to run the client on a balena device.

I tried but i get different errors. Is there any example on how to run in on Docker?

Thanks

You can't launch a Vision Client on Docker or in any headless environment. There's no GUI.

Hello Kevin i was thinking on running xserver on another container and use it as a UI for the Vision Client container.

Looks experimental and no longer maintained...

You're in uncharted territory here, I think. Keep chasing down the errors if it's something you really want to pursue.

Start here? It looks like you may be missing some additional system libraries.

Kevin i just had the Ignition Client running here GitHub - mpous/ignition-visionclient-launcher-balena

Not sure if this is correct as i haven't tested this with Ignition but this is a first step!
