remote-desktop

NoVNC client + VNC server packed into a Docker image. Access your host's desktop over the network using a web browser.

Quick start

make sure that DISPLAY environment variable is set:
```
echo $DISPLAY
```
If the output is empty (eg. you are on remote SSH session), find all available displays:
```
echo $(cd /tmp/.X11-unix && for x in X*; do echo ":${x#X}"; break; done)
:0
```
From the output log above we have :0 display available. Let's > save it in ~/.profile file (to persist between boot)
```
echo "DISPLAY=:0" >> ~/.profile
```
setup a password for a VNC session
```
export PASSWORD="husarion"
```
adjust the permissions for the X server host
```
xhost +local:docker
```
To persist the setting between boots, add the new line to ~/.profile file
```
echo "xhost +local:docker" >> ~/.profile
```

run the container in a detached mode

docker run -d \
-v /tmp/.X11-unix:/tmp/.X11-unix:rw \
-p 8080:8080 \
-e DISPLAY \
-e PASSWORD \
--ipc=host \
--restart=always \
--name=remote-desktop \
donowak/remote-desktop

Open the following URL in your web browser (of course replace IP_ADDR with you own IP/ Husarnet hostname):
```
http://IP_ADDR:8080/vnc_auto.html
```
Stopping the remote desktop
```
docker stop remote-desktop
```
