⁠How to build and test on local machine

Prepare the image on local machine

• Using git raw file

docker image build https://raw.githubusercontent.com/aarsht7/novnc-docker/main/Dockerfile --tag <image-name-tag>

• Pull it from DockerHub

docker pull 1at7/novnc:latest

• Using git clone

git clone  https://github.com/aarsht7/novnc-docker 
cd novnc-docker 
docker image build --tag <image-name-tag> .

Run it on the local machine

docker run -d --rm --name=novnc --env="DISPLAY_WIDTH=1920" --env="DISPLAY_HEIGHT=1080" --env="RUN_XTERM=yes" --name=novnc -p=<ip>:8080:8080 <image-name-tag>

Note:

• If you have used docker pull, then <image-name-tag> will remain 1at7/novnc:latest .
• <ip> is for security purpose and not exposing the port to the internet. You can ofcourse leave it blank but it can be anything that you prefer. for an example (127.111.123.1)

For more info on the risk of exposing them read this⁠

After running the above coomand, open the brovwer and go to the http://<ip>:8080/vnc.html After connecting, you should see the teminal running in the browser that is streaming from docker.

For using it with another docker, start this docker and for the other docker, simply setup the environment variable for the DISPLAY to the novnc:0.0
