bewster/debian-vnc-desktop repository overview

⁠debian-vnc-desktop

Not everything can be done from the command line. This brings remote desktop to a docker container, by adding a desktop environment and VNC.

⁠Current Status

This is my first foray into using Docker; so releases are considered development builds.

The bewster/debian-vnc-desktop:latest tag will always point the latest image.

The bewster/debian-vnc-desktop:jessie tag points to the latest image built from debian:jessie⁠.

⁠Version 0.2-DEV

Disabled the screensaver (to reduce the CPU load on the host) and added support for clipboard interaction between the VNC client and server.

⁠Version 0.1-DEV

Initial release with VNC working.

⁠VNC

When running the image will listen for VNC connections on port 5901.

VNC will not allow connections without a password. The default password is changeit.

⁠Error Dialog

There is an error shown on login. I haven't been able to resolve it.

⁠Customisations

A number of settings can be changed using enviroment variables:

VNC_PASSWORD=changeit
VNC_GEOMETRY=1920x1080
