Introduction

This example shows how you can run a web browser in one docker container and a server in another while showing the window on the actual "user" screen.
This works through X11 being able to forward everything it renders to another X11 server.

Note: When running the benchmark, with the runner.py in the green metrics tool, you will need to add the --allow-unsafe option to allow for the mounting of the volumes so that X can connect to the correct socket.

Using this container for development

Run docker compose run gcb-puppeteer to start and enter the container.

It will just end when you just do docker compose run
