Please clear the browser cache.

already tried, I totally deleted the container also but always the same error

[ich777]

This is definitely a issue with the browser, have you already tried a different browser or a private window?

The log is looking good to me, the error on the end can be ignored, I don't cut everything in the logs... :)

Please try to create another port mapping with 5900:5900 and try a native VNC client like TightVNC and connect to port 5900

[ich777]

To what IP and Port are you trying to connect?

[ich777]

Can you post your full docker run command? On what OS do you run the container?

tested chrome, safari, opera, brave, edge all the same problem, if I open the address without "vnc.html ..." I see this

ok

So it seems to be working fine via a native VNC client but not over noVNC.

I've now set up a new instance on my server and it is all working flawelssly:

I'm assuming you have mapped the port like so: 3000:8080?

Just for refference I've post my docker run command here too:
docker run -d --name='ThunderbirdTest' --net='bridge' -e TZ="Europe/Berlin" -e HOST_OS="Unraid" -e HOST_HOSTNAME="chipsServer" -e HOST_CONTAINERNAME="ThunderbirdTest" -e 'THUNDERBIRD_V'='latest' -e 'THUNDERBIRD_LANG'='it' -e 'CUSTOM_RES_W'='1280' -e 'CUSTOM_RES_H'='768' -e 'EXTRA_PARAMETERS'='' -e 'UID'='99' -e 'GID'='100' -e 'UMASK'='000' -l net.unraid.docker.managed=dockerman -l net.unraid.docker.webui='http://[IP]:[PORT:8080]/vnc.html?autoconnect=true' -l net.unraid.docker.icon='https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ich777/docker-templates/master/ich777/images/thunderbird.png' -p '9085:8080/tcp' -v '/mnt/cache/appdata/testthunderbird/':'/thunderbird':'rw' --restart=unless-stopped --shm-size=2G 'ich777/thunderbird'

I have to fire up my Debian machine tomorrow and try it there too but AFAIK it should work there fine too.

I'm using this container on a daily basis and it needs to run because it has all my mail accounts in it and it is basically my main mail app.

i used the standard configuration and it works, on port 8080

is it possible to update noVNC to the latest version?

Thanks.

[ich777]

i used the standard configuration and it works, on port 8080

But it should also work if you map it to another port like I did in my example...

is it possible to update noVNC to the latest version?

This was planed to be done when the new version from TurboVNC drops since I have many noVNC containers and I usually test everything if they are running fine and I want to avoid testing twice.
Is it in your case necessary to be on the latest version?

[antwal]

it seems to me there is a slight graphic lag

i am testing the latest version of novnc with tigervnc on debian 11 and currently have no problems

[ich777]

I don't see any lag on my machine...

I will test this out tomorrow but from what I know the difference in performance from noVNC 1.2.0 to 1.3.0 shouldn't be noticeable because there where no fixes in terms of performance: Click

[antwal]

ok

[ich777]

I will look into this and try it tomorrow if there is any latency or visual improvements over noVNC 1.2.0

[ich777]

@antwal just to let you know, I‘ve tested the performance difference between noVNC 1.2.0 and 1.3.0 and there is no real difference in terms of performance.
