fresh-node-novnc-example

Project information

Minimal example using a lightweight Alpine container configured to act as the X11 display of an otherwise headless container, in this case a Fresh-node container.

The user can see the Alpine container's desktop via a NoVNC url it serves up. The headless Fresh-node container only needs to be part of the Alpine container's Docker network and use a DISPLAY environment variable pointing to the Alpine container.

This example spins both containers up, configures them as described, opens a url letting you see the Alpine container's desktop, then starts Chromium and Firefox in the headless Fresh-node container, which then appear in the Alpine container's desktop.

The users can then interact with the browsers' UI.
