LXD Linux Container Graphics on Windows WSL 2

There are now many demos of how get Linux graphics on Windows under WSL. This is the one that shows you how to get Linux graphics under LXD Containers under Windows. It's not terribly different than without Containers except that you need to pass the DISPLAY environment variable down into the container. I do it with a shared drive.

Here's the big difficulty for most people with the firewall rule. This must be entered in a PowerShell as Administrator.

New-NetFirewallRule -DisplayName "WSL" -Direction Inbound -InterfaceAlias "vEthernet (WSL)" -Action Allow
