Remote Controlling an HP 1670G Logic Analyzer with a Linux PC X Server
I don't know anything about Xwayland, but according there's this sentence in this socat writeup:
> If you want to access an X server that does not provide -listen tcp (Xwayland) or just did not have enabled it during startup (like most likely your host Xorg), you can use socat to provide TCP/IP access.

is there a docker alternative for x applications
Instead of using a homegrown solution, check out x11docker. It attempts to safely allow you to use x inside a container. There are certain cases where a malicious actor could take over your computer if you don't mount the relevant things safely.

Is it viable to use containers as a turnaround virtual machine?
This is what I use x11docker for!

Tumbleweed: Connecting X11 desktop through systemd-nspawn or other non-desktop container?
It's straighforward to have your container talk to Xorg directly but for a better experience take a look at https://github.com/mviereck/x11docker as it does the heavy lifting regarding GPU, sounds, devices, etc.

Alpine Linux is reducing dependencies on Busybox
Used s6-overlay[1] to start a lot daemons in a docker-image for demo purposes - postgres, tomcat, mysql, php-fpm, apache (don't ask why ;) - s6 worked really well and was reliable and stable - I enjoyed it very much. It was also possible to reliable pass SIGTERM to the daemons in the image for clean shutdown and it was easily possible to configure logging to stdout with a prefix. Modelling dependencies (waiting on database before starting app etc.pp) is possible via shell-scripts. It's super flexible but out of the box it's more like a collection of powerful tools not a complete package - but that's good. It's in the tradition of djb daemontools and is very unix - as in doesn't talk a lot and you better know how each part works but - and that's really cool - it's modular and simple and once you get a grip on it you can easily reason about it. systemd takes a completely different approach and also solves a kind of differnt problem - this is like small pieces of lego that compose well instead of one big chunk of glib/dbus/glibc only c-code.

Do Docker Containers go thru a Boot Process
Every container has some entrypoint, whether it launches a single binary, runs a "process supervisor" like s6, or does some pre-setup before running a service, like a database.

Docker and dedicated user
If you *really* want to make your own containers with PUID/PGID support checkout "S6-overlay" and the linuxserver "baseimage". Somewhere in the startup they end up running:

Starting a service in Dockerfile
Not sure about unbound or what have inside the pihole base image, you may try to run the service in foreground or use some tiny init service for that container (I just learnt that s6 may work for that, but you must be aware how it should be used)
