OpenBox is already installed in the image, but I could not find out how it takes which standalone program to start from startapp.sh. I want to run a Linux instance in a docker container with a window manager already running.

This project focuses on running a single app. So the OpenBox config has been tweaked for this use case. If you want to run a full desktop, I would recommend to look at other alternatives. For example, this is a great project: https://docs.linuxserver.io/images/docker-webtop/
