Problems with licence in docker container

Hello, I was able to run a docker container with the R2025a release of MATLAB following the instruction in the https://github.com/mathworks-ref-arch/matlab-dockerfile github repository and i am able to run it but the program closes after fully loading giving the following error:

Unable to launch MVM server: License Error: Licensing shutdown

I also tried installing the R2024b release and in thst version i was able to log in with my mathworks account since i was prompted with the login page, this didn't happen with the latter release, but i wasn't able to use it since the interface didn't load giving me with a white rectangle.

I also tried manually running the autentication program without success.

Does anyone have some suggeations to solve this problem?

Hi @Mattia,

Thanks for reaching out, I have a couple of questions that will help to identify the issue you are facing.

1. Can you specify the image you are using or are you building your own image from a Dockerfile. Typically the base Docker Image from the repository you linked is only used for terminal-based workflows while you have mentions login pages and white rectangles? If you can provide the command used to launch the container that would also be very helpful
2. What licensing mechanism are you using?
3. Are you able to successfully run MATLAB R2025a outside of a container using the same licensing mechanism?

Thanks,

Michael
