This image is intended to be used as a VNC client to connect to existing VNC servers.
A VNC server must be set using the VNC_SERVER environment variable. Both the host and port must be defined. The noVNC service is available on the container's port 8080.
For example, if you wanted to run noVNC on your localhost port 3000 to connect to a VNC server hosted at 192.168.1.200 on port 5900, you'd run the following command:
docker run --rm -p 3000:8080 -e VNC_SERVER=192.168.1.200:5900 ghrc.io/whimsical-c4lic0/novnc:latest
Then open a web browser, and navigate to http://localhost:3000
- Alpine Linux - A lightweight Linux distribution to serve as the image base
- noVNC - An HTML5 canvas VNC viewer
- supervisord - A process control system for managing the noVNC server
This image is a simplified version of the noVNC image by Pat Sharkey (@psharkey). I just needed a VNC client without x11.
