kaixhin/vnc repository overview

⁠vnc

Ubuntu Core 14.04 + LXDE desktop + Firefox browser + TightVNC server. Runs as a daemon by default by using tail.

⁠Build

Include password.txt with the password for TightVNC (by default this is "password"). This must be at least 8 characters and is truncated if longer.

⁠Usage

The default password should be changed. To do so start up a container and then run docker exec <id> bash -c "echo -e '<password>\n<password>\nn' | vncpasswd".

For automatically mapping a VNC port use docker run -dP kaixhin/vnc and docker port <id> to retrieve the port. For specifying the port manually use docker run -d -p <port>:5901 kaixhin/vnc. The shell can be entered as usual using docker run -it kaixhin/vnc bash.
