This project uses Docker to create an environment where you can run containers on a remote host, in such a way that your local working directory is visible to the container and optionally use X11. (github.com)

Today I published an update to my remote-docker project.

The purpose of this project is to run Docker on a remote computer while providing container access to specific parts of your local filesystem with X11 support.

For example, you can use this to run your browser inside a container and only give it access to your ~/Downloads folder.

Access is over SSH (and SSHFS) and Docker is not installed on your workstation, just a few bash scripts.

Feedback (and patches .. Ha!) welcome.

Have fun!

Many people think of Docker as a virtual machine, but a better way to look at it is as a security wrapper around a process.

I really like this interpetation of containers. Thanks for sharing.
