no. > 2. How can I connect to the container with a GUI interface? It depends on how you've set up the container's network and where the guest will connect from. If your container were using a veth connected to libvirt's virbr0, and the application is available on port 9999, then your guest could simply ssh -L 9999:container_ip_addr:9999 and then connect to port 9999 on his local host. For instance, if you were opening up vnc on :1 in the container, the container is 192.168.122.89, and your host is 10.0.1.1, then he would do ssh -L 5951:192.168.122.89:5901 10.0.1.1 and then vncviewer :51 You can also put the container straight onto your local network, but the above works with how containers creation is usually shown. -serge ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Try before you buy = See our experts in action!
