Crash in Drake Visualizer in a docker

[cjds]

I'm getting a segmentation fault while trying to run the Drake Visualizer from a Dockerfile. This is a relevant dockerfile that replicates the issue

FROM robotlocomotion/drake
RUN apt update \
    && apt install -y curl gnupg software-properties-common \
    && curl https://bazel.build/bazel-release.pub.gpg | apt-key add - \
    && echo "deb [arch=amd64] https://storage.googleapis.com/bazel-apt stable jdk1.8" | tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/bazel.list \
    && apt update \
    && apt install -y bazel
RUN add-apt-repository ppa:neovim-ppa/stable \
    && apt-get update \
    && apt-get install -y neovim
RUN apt-get install -y coinor-libipopt-dev \
                       libsuitesparse-dev \
                       libtinyxml-dev \
                       libblas-dev \
                       liblapack-dev \
                       libnlopt-dev \
                       gfortran

This is the run command

xhost +
docker run -itd --privileged \
           --env DISPLAY \
           --net=host \
           -v $PWD:/root/doublependulum \
           -v ~/.vim:/root/.vim \
           -v ${HOME}/.Xauthority:/home/user/.Xauthority \
           --device /dev/dri \
           --name drake drake bash

This is a Core dump

Thank you for the report.

Unfortunately, this is not a configuration that we test, and we have had discussions about whether we can even support drake-visualizer running in a Docker container on a wide enough variety of platforms. I will certainly take a look at the core dump, but the resolution may be an update to our documentation (in #13539) clarifying that this configuration is not supported.

What is your host operating system and what graphics card and driver are you using?

[cjds]

Fair enough. I can appreciate supporting the myriad of graphics drivers on the host is complex enough.

I'm on Ubuntu 18.04 with a nvidia-440 driver. Graphics card is Quadro P2000 Mobile

@cjds When you have a spare moment, can you try robotlocomotion/drake:focal as the base image on the same host system and let me know if the result is different?
