Not until we can have a browser within this docker container
I don't see a network connection on the Docker host, so we have a little way to go yet. (Unless someone knows how to access the network?)

There's a generation of people who appear to treat docker images as a combined packaging/distribution mechanism. Instead of learning to create a .deb or .rpm, they write a dockerfile. I tend not to use that sort of thing, but not just because of docker - there's a bundle of related practices that tend to turn my eye elsewhere. YMMV.
It's very true. However what is intrinsically better about a .deb or .rpm apart from having been there first? Are they the epitome of something? This is an honest question, I am really not sure. I vaguely remember that making an rpm was unpleasant and not very well documented, but it's been about ten yeats now...
I wouldn't say "intrinsically better". I have no idea what the One True Distribution Format looks like. I'd say at this point OS-level packaging provides more options and integrates better with the wider software ecosystem.
But let me ask you this: how often do you see:
FROM ubuntu:latest
RUN apt-get -y update && apt-get -y install ...
or the moral equivalent from a different distro?
And do you ever consider the idea of your stuff being incorporated into some other container?
