Remote into GPU accelerated container from host on same display.

[Grantstensland]

Hey there,

My goal is to use a x11docker container with intel GPU acceleration and connect to it on the fly via remmina from the host. I currently am having trouble with setup and actually wondering if this is doable with x11docker currently.

My issue is that it seems --xorg --gpu requires the terminal to be active on a display for any input from remmina to go through. Otherwise it just sits there frozen until I switch back to the terminal my container is running on.

Say I have tty1 with remmina kiosk on my host, I can connect to the container but it seems frozen until I swap back to the terminal.

My thoughts have been to use Xvfb to unbind the X server from the terminal, I have questionably read that Xorg requires an active display to be ran. The only issue is that to use Xvfb with x11docker it says you are required to use x11docker/x11server docker image.

Any advice/comments/questions are greatly appreciated.
