• USER_UID and USER_GID are required to allow pulseaudio socket interaction even in most edge cases. They should match match your current UID/GID on the host.
• VIDEO_GID is required to allow /dev/dri access.

Parsec configuration is stored in a named volume parsec_home so saved logins can persist.

You also need to allow the container to access your X socket using xhost.

There is a Makefile⁠ included in the GitHub repository⁠ that tries to take care of setting all environment variables and X authentication when invoked with make run.
