ipmi-kvm-docker

Forked from solarkennedy's original and changed to include firefox-esr 52 from a different PPA. The original now uses Chromium which doesn't work with some older cards, such as the HP ILO100 and IBM IMM2.

Ever wanted to access and IPMI KVM console, only to find that you don't have network access or the right version of java or a compatible browser or credentials?

https://registry.hub.docker.com/r/lmacka/ipmi-kvm-docker

This container runs:

  • Xvfb - X11 in a virtual framebuffer
  • x11vnc - A VNC server that scrapes the above X11 server
  • noNVC - A HTML5 canvas vnc viewer
  • Fluxbox - a small window manager
  • Firefox - For browsing IPMI consoles
  • Java-plugin - Because... you need java to access most IPMI KVM Consoles.

Run It

# on a remote host that can reach ipmi
ssh admin
$ docker run -p 8080:8080 lmacka/ipmi-kvm-docker

# Now on your laptop
xdg-open http://localhost:8080

In your web browser you should see the firefox, ready to connect to and IPMI KVM:
