These containers are meant to just run the app and they have some helpers where it makes sense, you can launch any binary you want from the CLI and you can modify menu.xml to your liking (this is either labwc or openbox depending on X11 vs wayland but they have the same file format) https://github.com/linuxserver/docker-telegram/blob/master/root/defaults/menu.xml

Just in general the apps that you install via https://github.com/linuxserver/proot-apps from the sidebar will be available from cli only IE install then open terminal and run firefox-pa for example.

I think what you are looking for is this:

https://github.com/linuxserver/docker-webtop

That is more what the sidebar installer is meant for it is just included in everything because it can be and it still does work but you need underlying linux cli knowledge.

You can disable seeing the apps installer in the sidebar with SELKIES_UI_SIDEBAR_SHOW_APPS=false env var, among many other settings to customize the look if it is bothering you that it is there.

@thelamer I think one of the main issue reported by the kuizw9 is that the pre-installed chromium app cannot be opened through the menu, and nothing happens when clicking the menu item.

I cannot replicate this behavior, you have a terminal in the container. Just open foot and run chromium and witness the output.
