Hello,

It helps if you include references:

> Docker is a set of platform as a service (PaaS) products that use OS-level virtualization to deliver software in packages called containers. Containers are isolated from one another and bundle their own software, libraries and configuration files; they can communicate with each other through well-defined channels. Because all of the containers share the services of a single operating system kernel, they use fewer resources than virtual machines.

I have not tried this.

You can export applications with Processing:

Give it a try and let us know if it works with your container!

Hello forgive my English as it is from trductor.  
I am currently running a processing application in a docker container.  
I am having problems getting it to run at the start of the container,  
Once started I have to start the application.  
Considering that my application does not use graphics ,  
since it is a websocket server.  
I would like to be able to visualize the graphics in a web browser,  
But I have only been able to do this with the Xpra container, and with poor quality.  
If it is useful I can share it.
