I need to initiate Docker (recommended) or vagrant virtual machine on server which I could connect with VNC and in which I would run OBS application for streaming live video (from file or browser view).

I managed to run chrome with VNC in docker container, but I can't do it with OBS. Is this even possible to achieve?

There is obs project image which is working in local - https://hub.docker.com/r/spoon4/docker-obs/, but i need to work on remote server and access to it via VNC. – Dejan Milosevic Apr 20 '17 at 10:54
Ok, so I guess you should add `EXPOSE xxx` in the Dockerfile, and launch it with `docker run -p exposed_port...` – user2915097 Apr 20 '17 at 11:09
It is complicated than that. Of course i will expose port for vnc server, but OBS application wont work because it dont gets display and reports graphic card error. – Dejan Milosevic Apr 20 '17 at 11:13
try `docker run -e DISPLAY -v /tmp -v $HOME/.Xauthority:/home/developer/.Xauthority -v /tmp/.X11-unix:/tmp/.X11-unix:ro --net=host` which mounts the X11 socket – user2915097 Apr 20 '17 at 11:21
