Add `X11 forwarding` support #9

Closed martin059 closed 5 months ago

martin059 commented 5 months ago

Issue description

An external/virtual machine can have the ability to allow the execution of a program that is installed in that other machine to have its graphical interface displayed on the user's machine by enabling X11 forwarding.

In this use case, it allows a program installed in the VM to be used on the host machine through SSH.

Result:

Also, executing sudo yum -y install xmessage && xmessage -center hello-world! functions as expected and opens a small GUI window on the host's side.
