I understand what you're saying. The emulators would be a bit a bit challenging unless they were all packaged together like batocera, retropie or Lakka do. Possibly start with certain ones, and add more as updates down the road? Isolated to a certain extent I guess... to where it's just an emulation station-esk docker and that's all it does. I'm in a bunch of Unraid communities and a lot of people there would love a great emulation docker option.

You can definitely run GUI programs in Docker. almost all of the containers I run have GUIs. Am reading about setting them up and you just change a display value to allow it. The whole point I'm making is the isolation of Lb. Set it up to work in Docker and it will run on basically any Linux distro. I (and I'm sure many others) will gladly pay for another license to be able to run it on Docker! I also think it would be great if a docker version was available because you could run a server on your network that hosts Launch Box, emulators and roms. Then have an app for your streaming box that kind of mimics steam link. you can play all your games via Big Box from your living room. Would be a killer solution I think. For Unraid (Linux based), I go to my Unraid GUI and click the Docker tab, select which Container I want to open, hit open and it's GUI pops up in a new browser tab.

From my understanding of Docker, basically any container should work across any distro of linux without issue since the container itself will run it's own instance of linux that the software in the container is optimized for. If that's the case, wouldn't it be better for a Linux version of Launchbox to be on docker? There should be little to no compatibility issues correct? All the media doesn't have to be in the container. I run Unraid, which has docker. I run Plex and a bunch of other containers. All my media and files used are stored on the array separate from the containers.

What about the Android version of Launchbox with something like this possibly? https://github.com/budtmo/docker-android Or this https://github.com/sickcodes/dock-droid/blob/master/README.md

Hey, Has anyone thought about or started working on a docker container version of lunchbox? I'm running Unraid (a Linux based os) and would absolutely love a lunchbox container! The only retro gaming container I've found is nowhere near as good as Lunchbox! Might be an easier way to run it on all the various flavors of Linux with less headache possibly?
