<p dir="auto">I'm new to Clickable and trying to understand how it interacts with containers.</p>
<p dir="auto">According to <a href="https://clickable-ut.dev/en/latest/commands.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow ugc">https://clickable-ut.dev/en/latest/commands.html</a>, the <code>--container-mode</code> is useful for running Clickable from within a container.</p>
<p dir="auto">Here's what I tried:</p>
<ul>
<li><code>clickable ci</code> — opens a root bash shell inside a container.</li>
<li>Inside that container shell, I run: <code>clickable desktop --container-mode</code></li>
</ul>
<p dir="auto">I expected this to launch my app (a simple Hello World) directly within the current container. Instead, I get the following error:</p>
<p dir="auto"><code>Container was not initialized with Container Mode.</code></p>
<p dir="auto">This is confusing because clickable desktop help lists <code>--container-mode</code> as a supported argument.<br />
My question: what is the intended use of <code>--container-mode</code> with clickable desktop, if it doesn't actually run the app in the current container?</p>
<p dir="auto">Thanks in advance for any clarification!</p>

But it doesn't make much sense to run <code>clickable desktop</code> inside a container that you have entered with <code>clickable shell</code>. i.e. that was not an envisioned use case.</p>
<p dir="auto">Container mode is primarily used for building your click inside a ci container on GitHub / GitLab / whatever CI infrastructure you use, if it leverages containers.</p>
