How to run this image locally

Hi, I'm trying to modify this docker image to run with wine 6.19, but all GUI applications fail to start. So I think start it locally and run notepad may help with the debugging process.
However run this directly with docker run will get

Error: No such container: 93c6d1724c06649e3170294b132d0c9c5ec83083a1a350c876195ca8438715ff

Run it with ./scripts/run.sh might work, but I cannot visit VNC even if port 5900 was mapped.
So what setup is required to run this locally?

fix path when putting bin folder back

Hola
I was trying to make some changes to this repo to upgrade wine to 6.18. I found that when building docker image, it throws 'cannot find tar' error. It also happens when I tried to build original dockerfile.

I noticed that you move /bin folder to /bin.bak. This may cause commands after /bin moved not being able to find the file.
I understand you were trying to make sure /bin won't be overwritten when extracting s6 files.
So far I use the following approach and it seems to be working

# S6 Overlay
RUN curl -J -L -o /tmp/s6-overlay-amd64.tar.gz "https://github.com/just-containers/s6-overlay/releases/download/v$S6_OVERLAY_VERSION/s6-overlay-amd64.tar.gz" \
  && echo -n "Checking md5sum... " \
  && echo "$S6_OVERLAY_MD5HASH /tmp/s6-overlay-amd64.tar.gz" | md5sum -c - \
  && mkdir /tmp/s6 \
  && tar xzf /tmp/s6-overlay-amd64.tar.gz -C /tmp/s6 \
  && mv /bin "$BIN_BAK" \
    && $BIN_BAK/mv /tmp/s6/bin /bin \
    && $BIN_BAK/mv /bin/* "$BIN_BAK" \
    && $BIN_BAK/rmdir /bin \
    && $BIN_BAK/mv "$BIN_BAK" /bin \
  && rm /tmp/s6-overlay-amd64.tar.gz \
  && rm -rf /tmp/S6

`/bin` was overwritten by `tar -C /` when extracting s6-overlay

From Ubuntu 19.10: /bin is a symbol link to /usr/bin

# ls -ld /bin
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 7 2月   7 21:45 /bin -> usr/bin

We must use tar --dereference to preserve Symbolic links with tar command in Unix/Linux
