Be aware, that this way of accessing the X11 server is not the safest, you will find more secure methods online.
As the Discord client hast some strange startup behavior while updating, it needed a custom start-script, to work in docker.

docker run -it \
      --memory 1gb \
      -v /tmp/.X11-unix:/tmp/.X11-unix:ro \
      -e DISPLAY=$DISPLAY \ # to display on your host X11
      --device /dev/snd \ # to have sound output
      --device /dev/dri/card0 \ # to use graphics card acceleration (if needed)
      -v /dev/shm:/dev/shm \ 
      -v /var/run/dbus/system_bus_socket:/var/run/dbus/system_bus_socket \ #might need a change to your system
     --name discord \
