ZED Playground

This repo provides a Docker Compose setup and Dev Container config based on stereolabs/zed:5.1-gl-devel-cuda12.8-ubuntu24.04.

Prerequisites

• Docker + Docker Compose v2
• NVIDIA Container Toolkit (GPU support)
• ZED camera connected via USB (optional)

If you use GUI apps inside the container, you need X11 access from the host.

Quick Start (Docker Compose)

1. Allow local X11 access for root:

xhost +local:root

2. Start the container:

docker compose up

3. Open a shell in the running container:

docker compose exec zed bash

Dev Container (VS Code / compatible)

1. Open this folder in a Dev Container-capable editor.
2. It will use .devcontainer/devcontainer.json and docker-compose.yml.

Notes

• If you are on Wayland, X11 forwarding may require XWayland. If GUI apps do not appear, log into an X11 session or enable XWayland.
• USB devices are passed through via /dev/bus/usb and the container runs privileged for camera access.
• The workspace is mounted at /workspaces/zed-playground.
