Anyway, we have already many Dockerfiles. See for example one from me which I created for reproducibility of my recent paper: https://github.com/wenzeslaus/forestfrag3d/blob/master/Dockerfile In the case of that repository, the idea is that user can (but does not have to) run GRASS GIS or QGIS (with GRASS GIS) natively on the data created in the Docker image, but the main outputs are PNG images, so no special software is necessary. In past, I had success in using Docker with SSH (all local). However, for future it seems that things like Jupyter Notebook (with its widgets) or a general web interface to GRASS GIS are a way how to get a GUI while using a Docker image. Vaclav
