Hi

I was wondering if it's possible to run X11/novnc apps via binderhub, perhaps using something like the proxy tricks used to run RStudio?

Example X11 container I've found elsewhere to run QGIS https://github.com/psychemedia/dockerfile-dit4c-container-qgis

Interesting! Not super easily, but it may be doable. If you can:

1. start the x/vnc server in the container
2. run a server that tunnels x/vnc data over http
3. serve an http+html/javascript x/vnc client application

then you ought to be able to do it. I'm not sure how many of those pieces are available, though.
