Thank you . Exactly what I was looking for.

[backlogs]

Worked like a charm. Techy things + humor = great vid!

[Rami_Elkady]

Awesome. This is like some Sci-Fi stuff. Thank you partner 🌹

[redstylzz]

Not exactly what I searched, but what I needed, very nice thank you 😁

[joanapaulasoliveira]

This is absolutely amazing. Thank you!!

[berndwacke]

Great Video, helped me a lot! Thanks... One thing though, as of 11/2023, 'CMD service ssh start; bash' doesn't work! The container exits immediately! My solution was: 'CMD service ssh start; tail -f /dev/null'. In this configuration the container would wait for the ssh connection (and beyond that, forever, until force-quit)

[nathanbenton]

cool stuff. funny how he gets so jazzed when things r working. i really get that:D

[marciosouza]

Thank you, man!! It works fine for me.

Awesome does it work with browsers too

[aaamos]

You installed HTOP, is that now permanently part of the image?

[jiristibor]

Odd question, But can you run Pygame with this? I have tryed and onl gotten a Fatal segmentation fault error when the program gets to the line where I create a pygame window.

How to run a dotnet application with weston on Ubuntu?

How can I run Safari Browser from inside docker container?

[rajarshibanerjee]

I already have an image I want to start a container that enables GUI, how should I do that?

[atticus]

Hm. Getting an issue when executing the plink command. Container is running on port 22, xserver is running: FATAL ERROR: Remote side unexpectedly closed network connection. Btw im trying to do this with scottyhardy/docker-wine as my base image. edit: for the record I am able to do it with the setup you outline in the video.... so exact some formatting for everything, its Dockerfile.ssh, credentials are the same etc etc, only thing that is different is the base image

Hi, I was wondering if I could also run tools like wine based on your tutorial, I want to pack a windows gui app into a container but I don't know how to do it. Thanks in advance!

[francescofreddi]

fantastic... but, how i can run a nice GUI like a normal Ubuntu style? this i cannot do

[maxidotairbagreset]

docker-gui-ssh not working.

[AlexLiberzon]

could you please link to github or other place where the source code is listed? it's not convenient to recreate the Dockerfiles from the video. Thanks for the great channel

[Ashutoshc]

My container keeps on stopping. After checking the log, it says"Cannot open display"
