## Pull image

```
docker pull dcsunset/archlinux-vnc
```

The tag can be one of those listed above.

## Usage

Simple usage:

```
docker run -d -p 5900:5900 -p 6080:6080 -e VNC_PASSWD=password dcsunset/archlinux-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.

## Exposed ports

* 5900: Used for VNC interface
* 6080: Used for noVNC Web UI

## Installed applications

To make the image lightweight,
only the following applications are installed by default:

* xfce4
* tigervnc
* noVNC
* wget
* vim
* chromium

## Build

```
docker build -t archlinux-vnc .
```


## FAQ

### Fonts

If non-latin characters are not displayed well,
install the font packs based on your needs.

To install the Indian font pack:

```
pacman -Sy fonts-indic
```

To install the CJK font pack:

```
pacman -Sy fonts-noto-cjk
```

To install the international font pack:

It can be changed in the noVNC panel easily.
