I’m a bit new to Docker but this will end up being a Qt question. I have been 
trying to figure out how to install Qt 5.11.1 into a Docker container based on 
Ubuntu 18.04. The first obvious way was to download the Qt installer and try 
running that until one realizes that the installer requires a GUI to run, which 
Docker does not seem to have. Searched around on the internet and about the 
only process seems to just be to outright build the version of Qt that you 
require if it is not provided by the normal packaging system. Qt 5.9.5 is 
provided for Ubuntu 18.04. For those that use Docker to host builds is that 
what is commonly done? I thought about just installing Qt 5.11.1 into my host 
environment and then use the COPY command to copy it into the Docker image that 
is being created but something just didn’t seem “right” about doing it that 
way. I have found some scripts that seem to think that they can strip out 
installer components but those scripts don’t seem to work. Has there been any 
movement in the ability to install Qt in a truly headless environment without 
having to build from source?

 

Thanks
