I am looking to run a desktop in a container. I know I can pass the display in with /dev/dri but I am not sure about keyboard and mouse input

That's virtualization not containerization. I am looking for a way to make updating and pushing new configurations easy

I think that's called a virtual machine

I am looking for easy deployment. I want to make a container image and then update to it by restarting the container

Section 6.2 and 6.5
