Containerized GUIs, x-in-`docker`

[goodboy]

Eventually I want out of the box support for pikers to host and share real-time broker data with whomever they chose (hopefully other newly indoctrinated pikers). Including support for a scalable and maintainable deployment system is of utmost concern. Not only do I want to make it easy to deploy backend data feed infra I have ideas about client software being containerized and immutable providing guarantees about the trustworthiness and reliability of the human facing parts.

This starts discussion surrounding which stacks could/should be candidates.

container orchestration:

containerizing GUI apps:

NixOS based container generation

Turns out that we can also just render/generate container (files) from nix configs so it's likely going to be much more handy to use the #456 work and the nixos docker build guide to solve most of this.

The larger question is how hard is it to get something like the above full gui in docker style projects rendered via nix.
