Requirements

• X11 Window Server

MacOSX

Download XQuartz

Open XQuartz

open -a XQuartz

In the XQuartz preferences, go to the “Security” tab and make sure you’ve got 'Allow connections from network clients' ticked

Run xhost and allow connections from your local machine:

xhost + 127.0.0.1

Windows

You'll need a X Window server, I recommend looking up gui apps docker windows. The DSIPLAY variable is set to the host machine's IP address already. Changing it is simple by adding -e DISPLAY=$MYIP on docker run.

Linux

docker run -v /tmp/.X11-unix:/tmp/.X11-unix -e DISPLAY=$DISPLAY richjs/sent

Example Presentation

docker run richjs/sent

Custom Presentation

First make a new directory somewhere on your machine and create a file following sent's instructions here or check out the example file in this repo under the example directory

docker run -v $MY_PRESENTATION_DIR:/opt/sent richjs/sent filename

Arguments

# usage: sent [-c fgcolor] [-b bgcolor] [-f font] [file]
docker run richjs/sent -f roboto -b \#ffffff -c \#fb3300 ./example

Docker FTW!
