Can't run docker container in different user-CodePudding

I have 2 users on my ubuntu: personal and work. I created a docker image to run firefox in a container. To make things simple I added an alias in my .bash_aliases file to run it by typing "firefox" in terminal like so:

docker run --rm -d --name firefox \
-v $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR/pulse:$XDG_RUNTIME_DIR/pulse \
-e PULSE_SERVER=$XDG_RUNTIME_DIR/pulse/native \
-v /tmp/.X11-unix:/tmp/.X11-unix \
-e DISPLAY=$DISPLAY \
--network host \
shallowduck/firefox:1.0

The problem is that firefox does not launch when I'm logged in as "work" user, only "personal".

When I run the command I get container id as output in terminal but nothing launches.
When I run docker ps, the container isn't there.
When I run docker ps -a, there is no trace that the container exited with an error or whatever.
Both users are part of the docker group.

I'm not sure what I'm missing. Any ideas would be appreciated.

CodePudding user response：

I fixed this by running this command in terminal:

xhost

This adds host names on the list of machines that can connect to X server. I forgot I had to run this command for each user.
