Running GUI Apps Directly in Containers: No Extra Software Needed

This tutorial demonstrates how to run GUI applications directly within containers (like Docker and Podman) without installing extra software. By cleverly mapping the host's Wayland and PipeWire socket files and setting appropriate environment variables, GUI apps inside the container gain access to the host's display and audio. The tutorial provides detailed instructions on building Docker images for GUI applications, including complete launch scripts and Dockerfiles. This is handy for running untrusted apps, testing software, and running applications incompatible with your distribution.
