  • noVNC - HTML5 VNC client (default http port 6901)
  • Java JRE 8
  • Browsers:
    • Mozilla Firefox + Java Plugin
    • Google Chrome (Java-Plugin is no longer supported)

Current provided OS & UI sessions:

  • Centos7 with Xfce4 UI session:

    Run command with mapping to local port 5911:

    docker run -d -p 5901:5901 -p 6901:6901 consol/centos-xfce-vnc

    Build image from scratch:

    docker build -t consol/centos-xfce-vnc centos-xfce-vnc

    => connect via VNC viewer localhost:5901, default password: vncpassword

    => connect via noVNC HTML5 client: http://localhost:6901/vnc_auto.html?password=vncpassword

    Run command with mapping to local port 5902:

    docker run -d -p 5902:5901 -p 6902:6901 consol/ubuntu-xfce-vnc

    Build image from scratch:

    docker build -t consol/ubuntu-xfce-vnc ubuntu-xfce-vnc

    => connect via noVNC HTML5 client: http://localhost:6902/vnc_auto.html?password=vncpassword

Hints

override the VNC password

Simple override the value of the environment variable VNC_PW. For example in the docker run command:

docker run -it -p 5911:5901 -p 6902:6901 -e "VNC_PW=my-new-password" consol/centos-xfce-vnc
