CloudCompare in a container...just to play around.
To run CC container & host must communicate X11 (Linux X window system) info, and so we need to run our container accordingly. There is a small tool to help us doing it that works pretty smooth for Linux and MacOS hosts -- never tested in Windows; looking for testers actually :) -- the tool is called dockeri and should be strightforward to have it running CC:
$ dockeri -w /path/to/data/ chbrandt/cloudcompare
This will mount your host /path/to/data directory into container's /work.
If you are into pure docker command line, you should do something along the line (Linux host example):
$ docker run --rm -it -v /path/to/data:/work -v /tmp/.X11-unix:/tmp/.X11-unix -e DISPLAY=unix:0 chbrandt/cloudcompare
