⁠Configuration

The default configuration is set as follows. Feel free to change this as required.

-e VNCEXPOSE=0 By default, the VNC server runs on localhost within the container only and is not exposed. Use -e VNCEXPOSE=1 to expose the VNC server and use a VNC client of your choice to connect to localhost:9021 with the default password changeme.

The default port mapping for the VNC server is configured with the -p 9021:5900 parameter.

-e VNCPORT=5900 By default, the VNC server runs on port 5900 within the container. Note: If you change this port, you also need to change the port mapping with the -p 9021:5900 parameter.

-e VNCPWD=changeme Change the default password of the VNC server.

-e VNCDISPLAY=2560x1440 Change the default display resolution of the VNC connection.

-e VNCDEPTH=16 Change the default display depth of the VNC connection. Possible values are 8, 16, 24, and 32. Higher values mean better quality but more bandwidth requirements.

-e NOVNCPORT=8080 By default, the noVNC server runs on port 8080 within the container. Note: If you change this port, you also need to change the port mapping with the -p 9020:8080 parameter. -v /your/path/to/cert.pem:/etc/ssl/certs/novnc_cert.pem -v /your/path/to/key.pem:/etc/ssl/certs/novnc_key.pem By default, the container creates a new self-signed certificate for the noVNC connection at creation time. You can optionally mount your self-signed certificate and key to the container. Use openssl req -new -x509 -days 365 -nodes -out cert.pem -keyout key.pem to create a new certificate and key.
