⁠How I built image

docker build -t mvpjava/ubuntu-x11 .

⁠How to run

Note that this image was flattened via export/import in order to reduce the size of the base image as much as possible An image imported via docker import won't know what command to run. Any image will lose all of its associated metadata on export, so the default command "CMD ["/bin/bash"]" won't be available after importing it somewhere else and that is why I added the command "/usr/bin/xeyes" below. Also it nice to have confirmation that X11 working by have those funny eyes appearing!

docker run --rm -it
-e DISPLAY
-v /tmp/.X11-unix:/tmp/.X11-unix
-v $HOME/.Xauthority:/home/$USER/.Xauthority
--name ubuntu-x11
mvpjava/ubuntu-x11 /usr/bin/xeyes
