What is docker?

Docker is a tool designed to make it easier to create, deploy, and run applications by using containers. Containers allow a developer to package up an application with all of the parts it needs, such as libraries and other dependencies, and deploy it as one package.

Then install the firefox using yum install firefox -y and open it

when you try to run firefox it wont open in the browser as the environment variable is not set.
