Today I use the "ubuntu:latest" Docker container image in twisted, twisted ways...I install XFCE desktop and a VNC server!

I (mostly) followed the steps here, to install XFCE and tightvncserver: https://vitux.com/ubuntu-vnc-server/

- Get Docker Desktop (this is how you run Docker on Windows/macOS) here: https://www.docker.com/products/docker-desktop/

- Get the "ubuntu:latest" Docker image from Docker Hub, here: https://hub.docker.com/_/ubuntu

- Get the TigerVNC "vncviewer" tool (I used this to log into my container from macOS) here: https://tigervnc.org/

Don't forget, you can always email me with questions or feedback at jdp@jeremypedersen.com ^_^
