Docker doesn't work for desktop gui apps. Also it doesn't provide great security sandboxing. Also docker is not the first containerisation solution why not LXC?

- fulafel 10y agoIt works for GUI apps, see eg. https://hub.docker.com/r/tomparys/skype/ https://hub.docker.com/r/tomparys/skype/

- gjjrfcbugxbhf 10y agoOK but now you've forwarded your x you're not really containing the gui app very strongly anymore.
- fulafel 10y agoDocker doesn't support user namespaces properly so this is the situation anyway. Good reason to use LXD - or to run Docker under LXD[1] :) [1] https://insights.ubuntu.com/2016/04/13/stephane-graber-lxd-2-0-docker-in-lxd-712/ https://insights.ubuntu.com/2016/04/13/stephane-graber-lxd-2...
- OJFord 10y agoIt was far too laggy for real use when I tried with Firefox a couple of months ago. That might be XQuartz's fault rather than Docker's - I only tried on macOS.
- daveguy 10y ago> why not LXC The git-like version control available with docker or rkt (and apparently these package manager based systems too).
