Basically the main requirement for a GUI (without sound) is to bind-mount the X socket and setting DISPLAY environment. In fact, if you run full container, you must make sure lightdm service disabled on the container so that the mounted X socket does not get overwritten. So if you keep the line that mounts the X socket, it should work even with lxc-execute.<div>
<br></div><div>However since you'd also need network for firefox, the exec-d command must also inckude scripts to do ifconfig/ifup. With the additional script requirement, it should be easier to simply use a full container as in the article example.</div>
