You don't containerize an OS, you containerize an application. And you probably don't need to create a Dockerfile yourself, you can just use https://hub.docker.com/ and pull an existing one. Most applications also have instructions how to let them run with a docker compose file.

Keep in mind that Docker container will be set back if newly pulled or updateded if you don't use persistent volumes or shares.

Lxc containers are os containers, but yes docker containers are app containers

This is most definitely an XY-Problem.

docker containers are typically ephemeral, with storage mounts for stuff thats not. You would benefit greatly from understanding containerization as a whole before trying to shove an entire os down docker's proverbial throat. its not made for that.

Are you confusing Docker with a VM? There's usually no login, but you can get a shell in the running container with docker exec -ti <container> <shell>. Where <shell> could be bash or sh.

I am hoping to start from the container shell the browser and have access from the host to the docker.host.

Then look for a Docker container for said browser. E.g. https://github.com/linuxserver/docker-chrome
