Thanks for the offer Graham
I'm getting more and more inclined towards the X11 track.
I will need to do a little experimenting with having X11 and CLI on
the same VM to see if they "Play nicely" together or if I'll need to
run up a separate VM just for the X11 processes.
For now I've been side tracked by running up a VM dedicated to MPD so
I can (finally) move the radio station PC out of the house and reduce
the load on my broadband, but I intend to come back to the GnuCash
project in a few weeks.
Just noticed on re-reading your email the word CONTAINER.
Does GnuCash need to run under Docker or was that simply your choice
to do so.

I have run gnucash in a container and used x-forwarding successfully to

separately via browser anyway, so I don't view that as a problem.
If that works for your usecase, I can walk you through the details.

I don't use Docker for gnucash, I use a Proxmox lxc container. I do use
Docker for other apps but have not tried it with gnucash
If you choose to run gnucash in a VM, and you install a full Gnome
desktop in the VM, then you can access gnucash remotely with
x-forwarding AND have the help and tutorial and concept guide fully
operational. Being Scottish, I decided I didn't want to waste resources
on another VM just for gnucash, so I went the lxc container route and
accepted having help and tutorial separately in a browser.
