⁠Command examples:

• Single application: x11docker x11docker/fvwm xterm
• Full desktop: x11docker --desktop x11docker/fvwm
• Full desktop with init system openrc: x11docker --desktop --init=openrc x11docker/fvwm

⁠Options:

• Persistent home folder stored on host with --home
• Shared host file or folder with --share PATH
• Clipboard sharing with option --clipboard
• Sound support with option --alsa

Look at x11docker --help for further options.
