Is it possible to run GUI apps in windows containers?

So I'm playing around with this containers concept and specificlly windows containers.

I managed to run containers using the windows nanoserver image, however this image meant to services and does not support gui applications (or 32 bit apps).

Couldn't find any mentioning of running gui applications (and see there gui) using windows container (found only linux container gui).

is there a way to run GUI apps in containers? and so how do I can create my own image containing this support?

You can run any application in Docker as long as it can be installed and executed unattended, and the base operating system supports the app. Windows Server Core runs in Docker which means you can run pretty much any server or console application in Docker.
