How to Run a Graphical Application from a Container

Even if I focus on Oracle is this video, the principle will be that same for any other X application:

  • share the Unix Domain Socket between the host and the container

  • install the X client libraries in the container

  • setup a new user in the container with the proper settings and XAuth credentials

  • and…​ run the GUI application!
