Error opening spyder-ide from a docker image

Hello everyone

I’m trying to open spyder-ide using TensorFlow gpu docker image but I’m getting the following error…

root@350X:/home# spyder
Could not load the Qt platform plugin "xcb" in "" even though it was found.
This application failed to start because no Qt platform plugin could be initialized. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem.

Available platform plugins are: eglfs, linuxfb, minimal, minimalegl, offscreen, vnc, wayland-egl, wayland, wayland-xcomposite-egl, wayland-xcomposite-glx, webgl, xcb.

Aborted (core dumped)

I tried reinstalling the application and getting these plugins but had no success in opening spyder.

The Dockerfile used to build the image is:

FROM tensorflow/tensorflow:latest-gpu
RUN apt-get update
RUN apt-get install python3-opencv libasound2 -y
RUN pip install --upgrade pip
RUN pip install spyder
RUN pip install numpy
RUN pip install pandas
RUN pip install sklearn
RUN pip install matplotlib
WORKDIR /home

and the docker arguments used to start the image are

sudo docker run -it \
    --gpus all \
    --env="DISPLAY" \
    --net=host \
    -v /tmp/.X11-unix:/tmp/.X11-unix \
    -v $PWD:/home imagename/imagename \
    spyder

Any ideas how could I open spyder on the host machine using a docker image ?

Thank you very much, @dalthviz

It worked just fine initiating spyder with: env QTWEBENGINE_DISABLE_SANDBOX=1 spyder insted of just spyder

Now spyder-ide can be run directly from a isolated docker image based on tensorflow-gpu

btw, this trick also works when wanting to start Spyder in WSL2
