VNC

You can run a VNC server in a docker container and access it with a VNC viewer. You would not need x11docker at all.

Sample setup to provide an x11docker session with VNC:

read Xenv < <(x11docker --xdummy --showenv x11docker/lxde)
env $Xenv x11vnc -noshm -forever -localhost -rfbport 5910

In another terminal, start VNC viewer with vncviewer localhost:5910. See man x11vnc for many details and further infos. Option -noshm disables shared memory (MIT-SHM). To allow shared memory, remove -noshm and use isolation breaking x11docker option --hostipc.
