Modelio 4.1.0 in a docker container (for macOS)

WARNINGS

• Once Launched :
  • The host shares X11 socket and IPC with the container
    => This breaks container isolation, and the contained app can listen to all X11 events !
  • The host shares your ~/.modelio/ and ~/modelio/ folders with the container.
• Use it at your own risk !

Requirements

• Docker (https://www.docker.com) running
• X11 (tested with https://www.xquartz.org on macOS Catalina 10.15.7) running

Setup (perform once)
