Docker with kCacheGrind

• latest

Looking for a way to open you xdebug profiling logs ? Looking for kCacheGrind but do not want to install all KDE dependencies ? This container is for you !

To make it work, you need at least the following arguments:

docker run --rm -e DISPLAY -v /tmp/.X11-unix:/tmp/.X11-unix quetzacoalt/kcachegrind

The env variable and the folder /tmp/.X11-unix are needed to share your X11 process with the container. If you meet the following error when trying to launch it "Error: cannot open display: :0", use the following command: xhost +.

Because your xdebug profiling files are more likely to be stored on the host, you have to mount a volume to make this folder available in the container:

docker run --rm -e DISPLAY -v /tmp/.X11-unix:/tmp/.X11-unix -v /your/xdebug/folder:/any/container/folder quetzacoalt/kcachegrind

This container is based on the tutorial of Fábio Rehm: http://fabiorehm.com/blog/2014/09/11/running-gui-apps-with-docker/
