Thanks for this video. Interesting to see it running Windows apps.

Hello,
I would like to install one app at a time in a container. The installation and execution needs a GUI. It is once Eclipse and once Packettracer. After the installation I want to save and distribute the container state so that others can use the app in the same way (so I think times create an image). Also, as a user, I want to save my programs or the networks I created with the apps in the container as well then, not that the changes are lost. Is there also a possibility? Unfortunately, I have not managed it with the template from you. Thank you very much

Great video, I'm working on an office Word add-on project that likes to have 2013-2016-2019-2022 MS Word on docker images to be able to test any advice?

So is it simply not possible to run a GUI application inside a Windows Docker container? I have not been able to find any information on it

Sorry, I pasted the error in the comment and it was sent. I created a project with your tutorial perfectly, but when I'm inside bash and run wine with chrome.exe I get this error

removing the wine version number will make it work again.

I'm trying your code nearly two years later. The links the CDN have changed since then and I can't run Dockerfile without errors.😮‍💨

thanks a lot for your videos, there are really excellent
I still have a newbie question : in your process, you use your container to install a win application :
1- is it possible to save the container after so the next time one load the container, the app is already install ?
2- (sort of the complement of the 1) is it possible to install the app directly in the dockerfile ?
Thanks a lot again for your brilliant videos !

Didn't work for me. When I tried running the container it says "Cannot open display"
