I liked the incremental step by step process (showing failures). Very clear.

Thank you for explaining the concepts as well as the tutorial

[pedroth]

I was skeptical at first but it really worked! Great work, very well explained! Thank you

Great content. Can i stream this application over internet and used browser or remote for every container ? 🤔

[zapazorg]

Thank you for your very useful explanation.

Great explaination...my question is if you save perhaps a drawing in GIMP, does it save to the docker container ?

[andybeephotography]

Thanks for this great tutorial and explanation! What about saving a file in dockerized Gimp? Will it be in the context of the docker container or (somehow) in the context of the host machine?

Using "xhost +" is considered a bad practice. It basically bypasses the whole (security) concept of containerisation. It is told there are some better options like xauth. But I didn't manage to get it work yet.

This is great and very neat explanation, If i have to use a chrome browser image and open a web page by using x11 server is it possible to have multi users open the same browser instance within LAN environment ? Please share your idea on how we can achieve this use case.

This is really helpful, can you make a guide on teradici software client to run in docker and share the link here ?

[totrantien]

This works with me, huge thumb ups. VNC not work, sadly

[soothingsounds-iibv]

Please I need you help installing a logseq application with docker compose up

[eliandropaya]

is it possible to do the same procedure using MACOS?

[AsifMohammadMollah]

Can you please tell me how we can do it if the host os is MacOS?

This seems not to work when using Ubuntu 21.10 as Host :(
