I'm not sure why I wrote "best", I probably meant to say "easy".

Sloppy writing on my part.  I was talking about Leo, not LeoVue.
container / host network connections are easy in Docker, and because
X11 runs over a network (kind of) it's easy to open GUI apps. from a
container on the host desktop.

Also Docker's just less convenient on Windows, passing paths, finding a
decent terminal, that kind of thing.

I'm wondering though if I can add Leo to a container running Apache
Guacamole, making Leo a containerized web app., probably more of a
novelty than anything.
