contacting XQuartz server from within Linux running under docker

I have XQuartz up and can use xterm in Terminal

the DISPLAY is set to /private/tmp/com.apple.launchd.Lu4O1ZctRc/org.macosforge.xquartz:0

I'm also running docker with a CentOS image. From inside the container that DISPLAY does not work, probably because it refers to a socket that is local to MacOS.

Is there a way that XQuartz can use a "normal" style DISPLAY of say "graphe:0"?

Exposed port unavailable after a while Hi! I'm very new to Apple, my first device is the Mac mini M1, I'm trying to expose some services (through Docker) but I currently have some problems. I investigated a little more and I found that my problem is not related to docker, once I try to expose a port directly with: ⚡ nc -lk 0.0.0.0 8888 and I try to connect from another devices (192.***.0.167 is the IP of the Mac Mini) here is what's happening: daniele@xxxxx /home/daniele ⚡ while true; do sleep 2; nc -zv 192.***.0.167 8888; done ^C daniele@xxxxx /home/daniele ⚡ nc -zv 192.***.0.167 22 Connection to 192.***.0.167 22 port [tcp/ssh] succeeded! daniele@xxxxx /home/daniele ⚡ while true; do sleep 2; nc -zv 192.***.0.167 8888; done Connection to 192.***.0.167 8888 port [tcp/*] succeeded! Connection to 192.***.0.167 8888 port [tcp/*] succeeded! Connection to 192.***.0.167 8888 port [tcp/*] succeeded! ^C [Personal Information Edited by Moderator] In the first attempt I don't get any answer, so I interrupt after a while; then a connection on the SSH port (remote login is enabled) "unlocks" the other ports, and finally if I try to connect it magically works! After a while the port becomes unavailable again and to access the service I must first connect to the SSH port. Could you explain me what's happening? Thank you

x11 server on Mac Hi, I know this subject probably talked here a lot but sadly I still not figure it. I used to work with SecureCRT on Windows 11 and connected to my VDI session (Linux Machine), I enable x11 forwarding to open X apps like virt-manager or xclock. (to enable X server on Windows I use X410 app), it's actually was very easy and worked like magic. Now I moved to MacBook M1 Pro with Ventura OS and installed SecureCRT. as I understand MacOS should to support X11 via XQuartz app. I installed it and actually able to work it once but not any more. my main issue is understand what my localhost (x11) server ip to config on SecureCRT. (I remember on windows it's was - 127.0.0.1:10.0 or something similar). if I opening XQuartz and configure xclock inside it and open MacOS terminal xclock it's working. can someone please suggest me how to continue from here?
