docker-desktop-vnc-knime is a Docker image to provide web VNC interface to KNIME

• Quick Start
• VNC Viewer
• HTTP Base Authentication
• SSL
• Screen Resolution
• Default Desktop User

Quick Start

Run the docker container and access with port 6080

docker run -p 6080:80 -v /dev/shm:/dev/shm -v ${PWD}/storage:/root elestio/docker-desktop-vnc

Browse http://your_ip:6080/

Persistence

user profile: /root Knime app: /opt/knime

VNC Viewer

Forward VNC service port 5900 to host by

<<<<<<< HEAD
docker run -p 6080:80 -p 5900:5900 -v /dev/shm:/dev/shm -v ${PWD}/storage:/root elestio/docker-desktop-vnc
=======
docker run -p 6080:80 -p 5900:5900 -v /dev/shm:/dev/shm -v ${PWD}/knime-workspace:/root/knime-workspace elestio/docker-desktop-vnc-knime
>>>>>>> f6590a4ff663a626c31b70f8348638bad227a87c

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

<<<<<<< HEAD
docker run -p 6080:80 -p 5900:5900 -e VNC_PASSWORD=mypassword -v ${PWD}/storage:/root elestio/docker-desktop-vnc
=======
docker run -p 6080:80 -p 5900:5900 -e VNC_PASSWORD=mypassword -v ${PWD}/knime-workspace:/root/knime-workspace elestio/docker-desktop-vnc-knime
>>>>>>> f6590a4ff663a626c31b70f8348638bad227a87c

A prompt will ask password either in the browser or vnc viewer.

HTTP Base Authentication

This image provides base access authentication of HTTP via HTTP_PASSWORD

<<<<<<< HEAD
docker run -p 6080:80 -e HTTP_PASSWORD=mypassword -v ${PWD}/storage:/root elestio/docker-desktop-vnc
=======
docker run -p 6080:80 -e HTTP_PASSWORD=mypassword -v ${PWD}/knime-workspace:/root/knime-workspace elestio/docker-desktop-vnc-knime
>>>>>>> f6590a4ff663a626c31b70f8348638bad227a87c

SSL

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

<<<<<<< HEAD
docker run -p 6081:443 -e SSL_PORT=443 -v ${PWD}/ssl:/etc/nginx/ssl -v ${PWD}/storage:/root elestio/docker-desktop-vnc
=======
docker run -p 6081:443 -e SSL_PORT=443 -v ${PWD}/ssl:/etc/nginx/ssl -v ${PWD}/knime-workspace:/root/knime-workspace elestio/docker-desktop-vnc-knime
>>>>>>> f6590a4ff663a626c31b70f8348638bad227a87c

Screen Resolution

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

<<<<<<< HEAD
docker run -p 6080:80 -e RESOLUTION=1920x1080 -v ${PWD}/storage:/root elestio/docker-desktop-vnc
=======
docker run -p 6080:80 -e RESOLUTION=1920x1080 -v ${PWD}/knime-workspace:/root/knime-workspace elestio/docker-desktop-vnc-knime
>>>>>>> f6590a4ff663a626c31b70f8348638bad227a87c

Default Desktop User

The default user is root. You may change the user and password respectively by USER and PASSWORD environment variable, for example,

<<<<<<< HEAD
docker run -p 6080:80 -e USER=doro -e PASSWORD=password -v ${PWD}/storage:/root elestio/docker-desktop-vnc
=======
docker run -p 6080:80 -e USER=doro -e PASSWORD=password -v ${PWD}/knime-workspace:/root/knime-workspace elestio/docker-desktop-vnc-knime
>>>>>>> f6590a4ff663a626c31b70f8348638bad227a87c
