1You need an X11 server running on the host and connected to the docker instance. – Thorbjørn Ravn Andersen Dec 21 '20 at 03:36

The container has to interact with the Mouse Keyboard and display of the your host machine to execute the GUI. Installed X11 server on the host machine and then communicated the container with the x11 server of my host machine.
- Installed vcxsrv-64.1.20.8.1.installer
- Started the Xlaunch
- docker run -it --rm -e DISPLAY=${ipaddress of hostmachine} image/bin/bash

Note that X11 security is an afterthought, and if you can do this, you have it most likely turned it off. Be absolutely certain that vcxsrv is not listening on a port exposed to others (configure your firewall and/or vcxsrv) or anyone can point to your machineand do nasty stuff. – Thorbjørn Ravn Andersen Dec 23 '20 at 13:58
