Originally created by @ItIsNotKeshav on GitHub (Apr 21, 2021).

fish: ${ is not a valid variable in fish.
-e "DISPLAY=${DISPLAY:-:0.0}" \

I have run:

docker run -it
--device /dev/kvm
-p 50922:10022
-v /tmp/.X11-unix:/tmp/.X11-unix
-e "DISPLAY=${DISPLAY:-:0.0}"
sickcodes/docker-osx:big-sur

and also docker pull sickcodes/docker-osx:big-sur before that and all have installed all dependencies

I think you should use another shell, like bash, you shouldn't use fish as your default sh

You can just replace that variable with your display

Fish doesn't have shell substitutions from what you showed me which is a good point as I should provide POSIX friendly commands

docker run -it 
--device /dev/kvm \
-p 50922:10022 \
-v /tmp/.X11-unix:/tmp/.X11-unix |
-e "DISPLAY=${DISPLAY}" \
sickcodes/docker-osx:big-sur
