Firefox + VirtualGL + TurboVNC inside of a nvidia-docker-container

[Brm-Bremen]

Hey,

i am working on a project somewhat similar.
I need to have a Webbrowser running inside of a docker-container that is accessible through VNC.
For it to not be superslow i think i need GL and the way to do that seems to be VirtualGL. I have installed a supported Nvidia-GPU in my system and installed nvidia-docker. "nvidia-smi" shows that the GPU is recognized by the container.

Unfortunately i wasn't yet able to virtualGL that working. VirtualGL always tells me:"Xlib: Extension "GLX" is mission on display ":0". Error: couldn't´t get a RGB, Double-buffered visual".
I think the problem lies somewhere in my config of either the Nvidia-driver or VirtualGL.

After looking into it i realized i don't even have a xorg.conf file. What should i write in there?

Someone wrote i should first check if the 3d-display works at all with this command: "/opt/VirtualGL/bin/glxinfo -display :0 -c". But it just can't see a display :0. Starting a VNCserver on :o it can obviously see that but that does not support GL as the point of this project is getting it in there.

I hope you can help me out a little or point me in the right direction.
It seems that there is not much information about this on the Internet.

Hi Joscha,
it's weird that you don't have a xorg.conf as it's created and saved to disk by the setup script https://github.com/plumbee/nvidia-hw-accelerated-box/blob/master/root_setup.sh#L14
However, I never tried this setup on AWS G2 instances not on physical boxes so the setup might differ a bit.
