Announcement:
This container stack replaces the stack App X11 Forward GUI, which is now deprecated and will be removed on June 1, 2025.
What is new:
🌟 This new stack includes all the sub-containers previously available in App X11 Forward GUI.
🌟 The documentation has been simplified.
🌟 Irrelevant actions have been removed.
🌟 Names have been shortened.
🌟 Instructions have been improved for clarity and usability.
This is a Docker Linux (Ubuntu 24.04) general purpose template container with GUI output to an X11 server on a Windows host. The container is designed for use on a Windows Docker Desktop host, enabling the development of GUI applications within a Docker container. Additionally, the container can be used to run other Linux GUI applications.
This container consists of a Base Container and several Sub Containers. The Base Container is required for any Sub Container and provides the infrastructure for outputting GUI data from the Linux application to the X11 server on Windows.
The Sub Containers contain development environments for GUI application running on Linux.

Side note: Preview Markdown Files(.md)
To preview the Markdown (.md) files in this project, one of the solutions is to open these files in Visual Studio Code (VSC) and install the plugin: Markdown Preview GitHub Styling (Tested with version 2.04). Other plugins, or plugins for other programs, may not always work correctly with the file links in the documentation. I use the file link syntax supported by GitHub (Jekyll), which is also compatible with the above-mentioned plugin.
To display the Preview screen in VSC:
- Ensure that you are not working in Restricted mode.
- Click on the "file.md" tab and choose: "Open preview."
- Alternatively, you can click the 'Open Preview to the Side' button at the top right.
