A docker image of Ubuntu with Xfce desktop and VNC support.
Different tags of this image are based on different versions of ubuntu.
Currently available tags:
- latest: based on ubuntu:lastest
- 18.04: based on ubuntu:18.04
- 16.04: based on ubuntu:16.04
docker pull dcsunset/ubuntu-vnc:<tag>
The tag can be one of those listed above.
Simple usage:
docker run -d -p 5900:5900 -p 6080:6080 -e VNC_PASSWD=password dcsunset/ubuntu-vnc
Then visit http://localhost:6080 to visit noVNC UI. Or you can use a different VNC client (like TigerVNC client) and connect to localhost:5900.
If VNC_PASSWD is not set,
then the security type of vncserver is set to None,
it is insecure when exposing the container on the Internet.
- 5900: Used for VNC interface
- 6080: Used for noVNC Web UI
To make the image lightweight, only the following applications are installed by default:
- Xfce desktop
- TigerVNC server
- noVNC
- wget
- Python3
- Vim
- Chromium browser
To use the latest Ubuntu image:
docker build -t ubuntu-vnc .
Or specify a version:
docker build --build-arg VERSION=18.04 -t ubuntu-vnc .
