x11docker runs graphical applications from Docker containers with secure X11 display forwarding. It provides isolated display access using multiple backends including Xephyr, Xpra, and nxagent, preventing containers from accessing the host's X server directly.
The tool supports GPU hardware acceleration, PulseAudio integration, and clipboard sharing between the container and host. This security-focused approach allows running untrusted GUI applications in containers while maintaining display isolation from the host desktop environment.
