Instead of giving the container its own virtual display, it connects the container directly to your machine's real display. There's no Xvfb, no Sway and no VNC. The Squish IDE and the AUT appear as normal windows on your desktop, as if Squish were installed locally.</p> <p>The Xvfb and Sway variants are built for headless use, such as CI pipelines. This one is built for interactive, local development, where you want to see and use the IDE and the AUT directly without installing Squish on your machine. It is also the only variant that installs and runs the full Squish IDE inside the container.</p>
