Sitespeed – multi docker error : _XSERVTransSocketUNIXCreateListener

When i run multiple sitespeed docker , i faced this error

[2020-04-02 22:14:11] INFO: Versions OS: linux 3.10.0-1062.1.2.el7.x86_64 nodejs: v10.16.0 sitespeed.io: 10.0.1 browsertime: 6.0.1 coach: 4.0.1

To fix this i have to add 2 parameters to sitespeed command:

--browsertime.xvfb "true"         --browsertime.xvfbParams.display "$(((RANDOM % 1000)+100))" 

It turned out that the above fix will kill the video capture. After looking through my change log, the option “–name ” was actually the root cause. It looks like when we use the –name option, docker will reuse the socket. The final fix was to remove that option (–name)
