Guac might have multiple instances
and sit behind a reverse proxy and currently the main working authentication method is via SQL so there is also a MariaDB container Docker I should say.</div><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 16px; font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; background-color: transparent; font-style: normal;"><br></div><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 16px; font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; background-color: transparent; font-style: normal;">My first question is about common security policies? Is there a way to link dockers together so they inherit a common security policy or policies? Is it do it yourself via openldap or samba4?</div><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 16px; font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; background-color: transparent; font-style: normal;">Also because of containers being isolated apart from the network is anything done to firewall each one automatically
apart from services designated?</div><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 16px; font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; background-color: transparent; font-style: normal;"><br></div><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 16px; font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; background-color: transparent; font-style: normal;">This is where I am confused about docker because with AUFS and union mount points it is possible to share a common rootfs? I hope so in the case of a virtual desktop so you can minimise much in a similar way a live CD provides a userspace sharing that mount point. This is where LXC blows the pants off hypervisor virtualisation as its footprint for each user is tiny whilst still being isolated from process crashes of others.</div><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 16px; font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; background-color: transparent; font-style:

In this container we have a docker that can create certain types of virtual desktop (application sets) and mount a union?</div><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 16px; font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; background-color: transparent; font-style: normal;"><br></div><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 16px; font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; background-color: transparent; font-style: normal;">I was very happy with <a href="http://lxc-webpanel.github.io/" style="font-size: 12pt;">http://lxc-webpanel.github.io/</a> but I guess that is out
