    Hi,

    I'm currently trying to activate my Unity license in a docker container. However it is failing:

    $ /opt/Unity/Editor/Unity -quit -batchmode -nographics -serial XXX -username "XXX" -password "XXX"
    _XSERVTransmkdir: ERROR: euid != 0,directory /tmp/.X11-unix will not be created.
    Failed to move to new namespace: PID namespaces supported, Network namespace supported, but failed: errno = Operation not permitted


    I am able to build projects via commandline - which is nice, but they are built with a personal license instead of our professional one.

    Any hints on how to fix this? Has anyone tried to run unity in docker?

    Batch mode in the linux editor currently requires being able to access a running X session (even with -nographics, known issue) - it looks as though it isn't able to do so from your docker container.

    I think thats strange given the fact, that the editor is able to successfully run custom commands and build projects.

    You can work around the need for an X server by running Unity with Xvfb
