• I am getting the below error when I build the image using the ubuntu docker file.

  Failed to open CK session: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name org.freedesktop.ConsoleKit was not provided by any .service files

• Would it be possible to connect to Ubuntu Host X Server somehow?

• As soon as i run the container it stops

• Would this work well on a TruNAS scale setup since it also uses docker containers? I’m wanting to have a remote environment to connect to. And would it be possible to connect xrdp via my iphone because I would be likely installing steam and stuff so I can login and enable remote play to do steam link on devices.
