Neato! Many years back I was playing with Xpra for this, but it was in the days before either Docker or useful seccomp. Glad to see something making progress here.

Have you looked at OpenGL virtualization e.g. Virgil (https://virgil3d.github.io/ , https://www.kraxel.org/blog/tag/virgl/) for that problem? The idea is to use Gallium to give them just enough access to get host 3D acceleration, but not direct access to the graphics card.

Looks interesting. But no, I have not tried it. It isn't really a priority for me. I'm not a gamer, nor am I a climatologist, and while I do use CAD, I've had other, simpler, problems to solve :D
