~/.bashrc on Linux or ~/.bash on MacOS

Test on the terminal (just paste it on the terminal and execute it): 
env LC_CTYPE=C tr -dc A-Za-z0-9_ < /dev/urandom | head -c "16" | xargs
If the shell you use is bash, you can add it to ./bash_profile as follows: 
alias gpw='genpasswd'
genpasswd() {
env LC_CTYPE=C tr -dc A-Za-z0-9_ < /dev/urandom | head -c "16" | xargs
}
Remember to update source ~/.bash_profile take effect.
Then we only need to enter gpw to generate a set of random passwords.

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.

About setfacl

I think most of the current Linux supports Access Control List (ACL). With filesystem ACLs enabled, We can set additional permissions to different users or groups. This allows us to set the file system permissions of different users more freely. Go straight to the command.
