How to execute X client and X Window in Container (docker gui)

Today I will talk to you about X, not iPhone X, nor X-Men, but X Window System, He is the main graphical interface display component of the current Linux system. Since it is very easy to expand and modularize, it has been used since it was established in 1986. The X Window system adopts the Client/Server architecture, which splits the application program and the display into two. The application program of X Windows is usually called X Client, and the display is the well-known X Server. The X client communicates with the X server through the X protocol (X protocol), which is an asynchronous network communication protocol.
