Wait...is that all it takes to install arch in a docker container? Does this include a GUI or is it for terminal Haxxorz only?

Terminal only. Though in theory you should be able to expose a port to access an X or Wayland session remotely to use a GUI, but I haven't tried this.

You're basically describing DistroBox, which does exactly that. It's amazing.

Yes. It even pulls the image for you if you don't have it.
