Docker: use app - Skype from container instead of host
Clash Royale CLAN TAG#URR8PPP
I want to maintain host machine that installed docker with minimal packages as possible - I'm using archlinux that is rolling-based system, currently I have 142 packages.
But when I'm at work, I still want to use arch but some softwares are a must-to-use when working with others, for example: Skype - that involve access to camera and microphone - hardware level of host and possible some ports need to open.
For the particular case that is Skype how to install it in a container using docker and give it full functions as if it's installed on host? So that whenever I want to use Skype I just need to login to container and start to use it?

Interfacing with hardware devices isn't Docker's strong suit, but I did find a couple of images to run Skype in a container: 1, 2.

I've just seen thatSkypesupports web UI, so I think I'm good now, even installPulseaudiowould burden my package management.
