I actually use the --script in one of our "Superbuild" projects that is driven
by CMake. The important bit is that when those scripts are run (macOS, Linux
and Windows) there is *always* a GUI environment running. In a Docker container
there is no GUI environment to run so the --script will not help unless
something has changed lately with the Qt5 installers.

Hi,
I recently had success installing Qt 5.9.2 in a Windows docker
container using this link as a starting point:

I am on my way home at the moment, but if you do not get right I can
try to assist some more tomorrow.

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?
