Subuser: Docker as Desktop Programs

• x11docker

  26 5,401 4.9 Shell

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

This seems really interesting. A somewhat related project is x11docker[0] which attempts to make it easier to run gui applications through docker.

It works pretty well with docker, though I've not used it since I switched to podman as there wasn't any support for it at the time. I've not tried recently.

It does seem this project is at a dead end based on the recent development activity in recent months.

  Homebrew, but with Docker images

  

Whalebrew[0] has been doing this for years, though Subuser appears to provide more configuration/access control.

It's not a new nor crazy idea...Jessie (jessfraz.com) talked about doing this[1] in their desktop environment back in 2015.
