How does --container-mode work with clickable desktop?

[grgraf]

Hi all,

I'm new to Clickable and trying to understand how it interacts with containers.

According to https://clickable-ut.dev/en/latest/commands.html, the --container-mode is useful for running Clickable from within a container.

Here's what I tried:

• clickable ci — opens a root bash shell inside a container.
• Inside that container shell, I run: clickable desktop --container-mode

I expected this to launch my app (a simple Hello World) directly within the current container. Instead, I get the following error:

Container was not initialized with Container Mode.

This is confusing because clickable desktop help lists --container-mode as a supported argument.
My question: what is the intended use of --container-mode with clickable desktop, if it doesn't actually run the app in the current container?

Thanks in advance for any clarification!
