Why doesn't X11 forwarding work for me on MacOS?

I am following this tutorial to run GUI from docker on a MacOS host.

brew install socat
brew install xquartz

and then using open -a Xquartz I enable connections from clients:

Then I run socat TCP-LISTEN:6000,reuseaddr,fork UNIX-CLIENT:\"$DISPLAY\" and from a different shell I run:

docker run -e DISPLAY=192.168.0.235:0 --privileged jess/chrome

But I get:

(google-chrome:1): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display: 192.168.0.235:0

Where 192.168.0.235 is the ip I see at en0 inet's entry.

Seems my firewall is ok too, maybe something with the network I am using?

Solution 1:

When you install xquartz you need to logout and login again in order for it to come in affect.

Because you installed from homebrew you may not have seen the dialog box.
