dcsunset/i3-arch-vnc repository overview

⁠docker-i3-arch-vnc

A minimum docker image of Arch Linux with i3wm and VNC support.

⁠Pull image

docker pull dcsunset/i3-arch-vnc

⁠Usage

Simple usage:

docker run -d --name i3-arch-vnc -p 5900:5900 -p 6080:6080 -e VNC_PASSWD=password dcsunset/i3-arch-vnc

On the first startup, this image will install the i3 related packages. You may need to wait a few minutes after creating the container. This approach ensures that the base image is minimum.

Then visit http://localhost:6080⁠ to visit noVNC UI. Or you can use a different VNC client (like TigerVNC client) and connect to localhost:5900.

If VNC_PASSWD is not set, the security type of tigervnc should be set to None in /root/.vnc/config, it is insecure when exposing the container on the Internet.

⁠Exposed ports

• 5900: Used for VNC interface
• 6080: Used for noVNC Web UI

⁠Customization

The VNC config can be changed by mounting the config file at /root/.vnc/config. By default, the config file is empty.

Besides, init.sh and start.sh can be customized as well.

⁠Installed applications

• tigervnc
• noVNC
• wget
• alacritty (a terminal emulator)

⁠Build

docker build -t i3-arch-vnc .

⁠FAQ

⁠Scaling

By default, noVNC's scaling mode is set to None. It can be changed in the noVNC panel easily.
