Build

$ git clone https://github.com/zteeed/docker-ubuntu-xfce-vnc-desktop.git
$ docker build -t zteeed/ubuntu-xfce-vnc-desktop docker-ubuntu-xfce-vnc-desktop

Run

$ docker run -d -p 5900-5901:5900-5901 -p 6900-6901:6900-6901 --name ubuntu-xfce-vnc-desktop zteeed/ubuntu-xfce-vnc-desktop

By default there is no password for the viewonly and non-viewonly access (VNC/noVNC). Use:

• vnc viewonly viewer to <YOUR IP>:5900
• vnc viewer to <YOUR IP>:5901
• novnc viewonly viewer to http://<YOUR IP>:6900?password=%00
• novnc viewer to http://<YOUR IP>:6901?password=%00

You can set custom passwords and game_url using environment vars:

• USER_PASSWORD is for viewonly VNC/noVNC access (port 5900/6900)
• ADMIN_PASSWORD is for non-viewonly VNC/noVNC access (port 5901/6901)

$ docker run -d -e USER_PASSWORD="user_password" -e ADMIN_PASSWORD="admin_password" -e GAME_URL="https://gameon.world" -p 5900-5901:5900-5901 -p 6900-6901:6900-6901 --name ubuntu-xfce-vnc-desktop zteeed/ubuntu-xfce-vnc-desktop

SSL

$ certbot certonly --server https://acme-v02.api.letsencrypt.org/directory --manual --preferred-challenges dns -d 'vnc.duboc.xyz'
