Basically the main requirement for a GUI (without sound) is to bind-mount the X socket and setting DISPLAY environment. In fact, if you run full container, you must make sure lightdm service disabled on the container so that the mounted X socket does not get overwritten. So if you keep the line that mounts the X socket, it should work even with lxc-execute.
However since you'd also need network for firefox, the exec-d command must also inckude scripts to do ifconfig/ifup. With the additional script requirement, it should be easier to simply use a full container as in the article example. -- Fajar On Sunday, August 31, 2014, Sun Keqin <[email protected]> wrote: > Yeah, I have read the article, but I still want to ask if there is a > “lightweight" > approach.
