docker is a tool to containerize applications based on some linux kernel features. It is designed for terminal based applications only.
To run GUI applications in docker, I have published x11docker on github.
I have created two docker images containing wine and playonlinux, one based on LXDE desktop, the other one on xfce desktop:
docker image containing wine and playonlinux on LXDE desktop
docker image containing wine and playonlinux on xfce desktop
Maybe this could be mentioned in wine FAQ at How good is Wine at sandboxing Windows apps and/or in Third Party Applications.
Example image of wine running in docker, x11docker/lxde-wine in a Xephyr window:
Code: Select all
x11docker --xephyr --desktop x11docker/lxde-wine
