I am trying to connect via ssh -X to a remote machine and from them run a docker with the graphical interface enabled.

I have found and tried to follow this tutorial: https://blog.yadutaf.fr/2017/09/10/running-a-graphical-app-in-a-docker-container-on-a-remote-server/

but I am getting the following error even with the final script

xterm: Xt error: Can't open display: :10

if I add a sudo chmod -R 777 display in the script I get this error instead:

X11 connection rejected because of wrong authentication. xterm: Xt error: Can't open display: :10

What I am missing? There is anything else I should configure either locally, on the remote machine or the container?

on local machine

$ xauth list
test/unix:1  MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1  f3e4afd36654c52965e3e529c8a3ce88
test/unix:0  MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1  a806b599d75e8b6df4f107a87faa952f

$ echo $DISPLAY

on remote machine (ssh -X localhost)

$ xauth list

$ echo $DISPLAY

$ sudo lsof -i4:6010

within container

$ xauth list
xterm/unix:10  MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1  85342ce3b19106adfea27f3333ba19d8

$ echo $DISPLAY
:10
