See https://www.stgraber.org/2014/02/09/lxc-1-0-gui-in-containers/ as one
of many examples.

Quoting Brian Allen Vanderburg II (brianvanderburg2 at aim.com):
> I'm wondering if LXC could be used to create a generic application
> container/sandbox.  I've created similar sandboxes in the past using
> chroot, unionfs-fuse, and bind mounts, successfully running applications
> such as Firefox, Sauerbraten, etc.  But this was limited and had
> drawbacks.  Using chroot requires root, unprivileged containers can be
> run without root after everything is properly set up.  Chroot only hides
> away parts of the filesystem, a container can also isolate network
> namespaces, etc.  Is there a way to achieve similar, with better control
> of isolation, using unprivileged containers?
