If you're just looking for a containerized desktop app, you might want to try Flatpak instead of Buildah. Here's an article about getting started:

I've been running Flatpak on my RHEL 8 laptop with great success. Pretty good integration and nice sandboxing features.

If you're doing this as an exercise or development push on Buildah specifically, then ignore me!

Can I install an Linux app in a buildah container, that when launched runs a GUI, and have that GUI displayed on the host OS/desktop?

Any instructions/examples on how to do this would be helpful.

For starters, the chrome browser for example.

  • Host OS:  RHEL 8.x
  • buildah container: running latest RHEL UBI 8.x
