Do you want to run a full X server inside the container or just X applications? I'm confused by your use of `xhost +` here. A full server needs to be started on a real console, so that might not be possible at all in a container. But you're passing /tmp/.X11-unix/ and setting DISPLAY, so you might only want to run X apps? In which case you don't need startx. -- damjan
