## What it is
A Docker image that runs X11 and SSH services to create remote-accessible virtual desktops, preloaded with Firefox and LibreOffice. It uses Xpra and Xephyr to display containerized applications on a client machine with connection recovery over lossy links.

## Use cases
- run a remote linux desktop in a docker container
- access firefox and libreoffice from a container over ssh
- display gui apps from docker with xpra
- create disposable virtual desktops
- use desktop applications over a slow network connection
- run rootless x11 apps from a container

## When to choose
- you need lightweight, disposable remote desktops in containers
- you want to run containerized GUI apps with X11 forwarding
- your network link is unreliable and you need connection recovery

## When to avoid
- you need a modern, actively maintained remote desktop solution
- you want a full-featured desktop environment rather than a minimalist Fluxbox setup
- your client machine cannot run an X11/Xpra server

## Facets
- artifact type: application
- maturity: maintenance
- function: container-runtime, gui, ssh, developer-tools
- domain: developer-tools, cross-platform
- platform: cross-platform
- tags: xpra, x11-forwarding, virtual-desktop, remote-desktop, libreoffice, firefox, fluxbox, rootless, containers, docker, linux
