You do not have to reinstall everything, you can simply:
- start a new container
- overwrite the .img in the new container with your big old one
```bash
# start a new docker-osx container
# you can start with ssh, without, or vnc, because they are all interchangable.
# get the NEW container id
docker ps
# docker cp your OLD disk into the NEW container
docker cp ./mac_hdd_ng.img newcontainerid:/home/arch/OSX-KVM/mac_hdd_ng.img
# kill the NEW container
docker kill newcontainerid
# start the NEW container and it just works

Hence, `${DISPLAY:-:0.0}` will use whatever variable your X11 server has set for you, else `:0.0`
## What is `-v /tmp/.X11-unix:/tmp/.X11-unix`?
`-v` is a Docker command-line option that lets you pass a volume to the container.
The directory that we are letting the Docker container use is a X server display socket.
`/tmp/.X11-unix`
If we let the Docker container use the same display socket as our own environment, then any applications you run inside the Docker container will show up on your screen too! [https://www.x.org/archive/X11R6.8.0/doc/RELNOTES5.html](https://www.x.org/archive/X11R6.8.0/doc/RELNOTES5.html)
