Summary0002553: Cannot run paraFoam using Docker
DescriptionAfter installation of OpenFOAM 4.1 using the provided guide I get the following error message 'paraview: cannot connect to X server localhost:10.0' when the paraFoam command is used.

OF has been set up such that it is installed on a remote server, which is accessed from a windows machine using PuTTY. For the previous version (2.3), where docker was not used Paraview was run successfully using Xming.

I have tripple checked that Xming is running beforehand and have tried to add --net=host after docker run as suggested in http://stackoverflow.com/questions/38249629/inside-a-docker-container-error-cannot-open-display-localhost11-0

I know this might be a local problem, but I think our set up is a common way, so other people might run into the same problem.
TagsNo tags attached.

It's not clear from your description which exact installation instructions you've followed. Please let us know the following details:

 1- Are the instructions that you referred the ones on this page: https://openfoam.org/download/4-1-linux/

 2- Was OpenFOAM 4.1 installed inside the same container as OpenFOAM 2.3 that you've referred to, or is it the container provided in the previous link?

 3- Did you run the following command inside the container and on the Putty connection to the remote server:

    xhost +

1) Yes, the instructions on the link was used

2) OpenFOAM 2.3, was not installed using a container, but installed natively on the server

3) I have run 'xhost +' outside the docker, and now the access control is disabled. However inside the container the xhost command is unknown.

We provide OpenFOAM 4.1 in Docker which runs on RedHat, but any connection to it from Windows using PuTTY and Xming are your responsibility.
