Mike has a newer project about this:

docker pull mtmiller/octave

docker run -it mtmiller/octave

You can get different versions like:

docker run -it mtmiller/octave:devel

As for X11: I can't remember and haven't tried with the new project.  It 
was probably "xhost +" or some such danger...  I need to run the above 
commands as "sudo docker ...": perhaps if I had my user to some docker 
group, X would just work.

I filed [1] to get some of this documented.
