Can I run Xcode in a docker container? I'd like to dockerise an Xcode CI system, just wondering if this is possible.

Docker for iOS DevelopmentBuild and ship iOS apps with standard docker client. Just drop a Dockerfile into an XCode project and build+distribute using docker containers.
Docker Desktop currently supports macOS Catalina, macOS Big Sur, and macOS Monterey. At least 4 GB of RAM. VirtualBox prior to version 4.3. 30 must not be installed as it is not compatible with Docker Desktop.
You can run the application through a container regardless of the operating system and the software inside your computer. Therefore, you can focus on developing your applications and deploy them straightly.
The Visual Studio Code Dev Containers extension lets you use a Docker container as a full-featured development environment. It allows you to open any folder inside (or mounted into) a container and take advantage of Visual Studio Code's full feature set.
This answer is now likely to be out of date as it was written in 2015. It may still be useful as reference to reproduce the same

This repo from Docker Hackathon 2015 describes how to build and run iOS apps with the docker client. Is that what you're after?
Watch the video:
Secret sauce is in server.js that implements a REST API to simulate a docker server. So in fact it's not actually running iOS in a real Linux docker server - rather it implements the docker API and then acts as a proxy to ios-sim (run) and XCode (build).
