Well, here is very compressed "how to start" (partly from top of my
head):

1. emerge app-emulation/docker and /etc/init.d/docker start
2. Add yourself to docker group; re-login
3. Choose docker image that you like on hub.docker.com; for example:
https://hub.docker.com/r/openhs/firefox-ubuntu/ as I have mentioned in
previous mail.  It's what I've made for myself and published.
4. Follow instructions for your chosen image how to run it.  For the
openhs/firefox-ubuntu image above, the following command should start
Firefox:

$ docker run --name firefox -e DISPLAY=$DISPLAY --device /dev/snd \
-v /tmp/.X11-unix:/tmp/.X11-unix \
-v $XAUTHORITY:/tmp/.host_Xauthority:ro -dti openhs/firefox-ubuntu

What it does is: from image openhs/firefox-ubuntu it creates container
named 'firefox' and starts it.  (The image is downloaded automatically.)

This long command is needed only for the first time.  Next time you can
start it with:

$ docker start firefox

Some basic docker commands:

$ docker ps [-a] - lists running containers [or all containers]
$ docker images - lists images
$ docker rm [container_name] - removes container
$ docker rmi [image_name] - removes image

The official documentation is pretty good:
https://docs.docker.com/get-started/

Robert
