2017: You can use ConSol/docker-headless-vnc-container
(2022: no longer maintained, though)

The repository contains a collection of Docker images with headless VNC environments.

Each Docker image is installed with the following components:

• Desktop environment Xfce4 or IceWM
• VNC-Server (default VNC port 5901)
• noVNC
• HTML5 VNC client (default http port 6901)
• Browsers:
  • Mozilla Firefox
  • Chromium

To use those containers, browse to https://github.com/ConSol/docker-headless-vnc-container/blob/master.
Or use a VNCViewer.

You will have access to the CentOS environment, running Chrome or Firefox:
