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 straming 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
