Forward VNC service port 5900 to host by
docker run -p 6080:80 -p 5900:5900 dorowu/ubuntu-desktop-lxde-vnc
Now, open the vnc viewer and connect to port 5900. If you would like to protect vnc service by password, set environment variable VNC_PASSWORD, for example
docker run -p 6080:80 -p 5900:5900 -e VNC_PASSWORD=mypassword dorowu/ubuntu-desktop-lxde-vnc
A prompt will ask password either in the browser or vnc viewer.
This image provides base access authentication of HTTP via HTTP_PASSWORD
docker run -p 6080:80 -e HTTP_PASSWORD=mypassword dorowu/ubuntu-desktop-lxde-vnc
To connect with SSL, generate self signed SSL certificate first if you don't have it
mkdir -p ssl
openssl req -x509 -nodes -days 365 -newkey rsa:2048 -keyout ssl/nginx.key -out ssl/nginx.crt
Specify SSL port by SSL_PORT, certificate path to /etc/nginx/ssl, and forward it to 6081
docker run -p 6081:443 -e SSL_PORT=443 -v ${PWD}/ssl:/etc/nginx/ssl dorowu/ubuntu-desktop-lxde-vnc
The Resolution of virtual desktop adapts browser window size when first connecting the server. You may choose a fixed resolution by passing RESOLUTION environment variable, for example
docker run -p 6080:80 -e RESOLUTION=1920x1080 dorowu/ubuntu-desktop-lxde-vnc
The default user is root. You may change the user and password respectively by USER and PASSWORD environment variable, for example,
docker run -p 6080:80 -e USER=doro -e PASSWORD=password dorowu/ubuntu-desktop-lxde-vnc
It only works in Linux.
First of all, insert kernel module snd-aloop and specify 2 as the index of sound loop device
sudo modprobe snd-aloop index=2
Start the container
docker run -it --rm -p 6080:80 --device /dev/snd -e ALSADEV=hw:2,0 dorowu/ubuntu-desktop-lxde-vnc
where --device /dev/snd -e ALSADEV=hw:2,0 means to grant sound device to container and set basic ASLA config to use card 2.
Launch a browser with URL http://127.0.0.1:6080/#/?video, where video means to start with video mode. Now you can start Chromium in start menu (Internet -> Chromium Web Browser Sound) and try to play some video.
Following is the screen capture of these operations. Turn on your sound at the end of video!
