Running a Graphical Application from a Docker Container - Simply and Securely

• pgmodeler-container

  2 10 3.7 Dockerfile

  Docker image wrapping pgmodeler/pgmodeler.

I will show you how to configure your graphical Docker image securely using my PgModeler image as an example: https://github.com/artis3n/pgmodeler-container. Understanding how to secure a Docker container requires understanding the underlying Linux behaviors taking place so we will discuss them in-depth.

  Run GUI applications and desktops in docker and podman containers. Focus on security.

If you are hesitant to allow X server access to a container, an interesting project to explore is x11docker. The gist of that project is to run a second X server with its own authentication cookies. Docker containers get access to the new X server and are segregated from display :0 on the host. This would prevent them from accessing your main display, although I am not sure how it affects the keyboard, mouse, and clipboard. Head over to that project and ask!
