New to noVNC

[Keith Lynn]

I found noVNC when searching for a solution to my problem. I have several machines internally that have VNC servers running. I would like to have my web server which is outward facing so that a user could access a web page and view the desktop of an internal machine through a web page. Can I do this with noVNC? Thanks.

Hi Keith,

Yeah, that should be possible. Note that VNC servers require a proxy
(TCP->WebSockets) in order to work with noVNC. Some VNC servers have
a built in proxy, others don't.

You could have a look at Websockify which is a TCP->WebSockets proxy,
it might suit your needs to run it on your web server.

Best regards,

Thanks Sam. I'm using the command ./utils/lauch.sh --vnc ipaddress:vncport It then maps port 6080 to the vnc server. Is there a way to specify the  port to use instead of 6080? Thanks.

The "--listen" option lets you specify the port.

Thanks Sam. Is there an easy way to capture the process IDs that are created so they can be programmatically killed later?

I'd filter the output from 'ps':

 ps aux | grep websockify | awk '{print $2}'

Thanks for your help. Is there a way on the command line to send the password for the vnc server so that once the html page is loaded, the vnc server is automatically logged into? Thanks.

I'm not sure what you want here, which command line? It sounds like what
you want is to run the VNC server without any authenticaton?

An alternative is to pass the password in the browser using
query-paramters, something like this:

example.com:6080/vnc.html?autoconnect=1&password=mysecret
