# swayvnc-firefox
VNC Desktop Browser Session in a Container
---
swayvnc-firefox uses [Sway](https://swaywm.org) with [wayvnc](https://github.com/any1/wayvnc) to create a headless wayland desktop with a browser payload (firefox), to display one or several web pages
## Build
### Build dependency
Uses [swayvnc](https://github.com/bbusse/swayvnc) as base image
### Build container
```
$ podman build -t swayvnc-firefox .
```
## Run Container
```
$ export LISTEN_ADDRESS="127.0.0.1" \
podman run -e XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=/tmp \
-e WLR_BACKENDS=headless \
-e WLR_LIBINPUT_NO_DEVICES=1 \
-e SWAYSOCK=/tmp/sway-ipc.sock \
-e MOZ_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1 \
-e TARGET="grafana" \

-p${LISTEN_ADDRESS}:5000:5000 \
-p${LISTEN_ADDRESS}:5100:5100 \
-p${LISTEN_ADDRESS}:7023:7023 swayvnc-firefox
# or
$ ./run.sh
```
## Run Commands
Run commands with swaymsg by using socat to put them on the network
Replace $IP with the actual IP you want to listen on
```
$ socat UNIX-LISTEN:/tmp/sway-ipc.sock,fork TCP:$IP:7023
$ SWAYSOCK=/tmp/swayipc swaymsg exec "firefox [URL]"
```
## Connect

```
$ wlvncc
# or
$ vinagre [vnc-server:5910]
```
## TODO
