# x11vnc-docker
## Information
### Background
```
An attempt at running x11vnc (and by extensions, potentially all VNC/RDP connecions) within a docker containerized environment.
The goal is to eventually, by using this project as a baseline implementation of Display server graphical execution within a docker containerized environment,
I will be able to make a standalone GUI docker container runner template project
Currently failing pretty much at life itself
Jokes aside, this is currently sll a WIP, some bugs encountered:
- x11vnc refuses to
1. Startup and run within the container
2. Accept connections from a remote host (i.e. accessing via XRDP)
```
## Setup
### Dependencies
+ docker
+ docker-compose
- Build Tools
- base-devel (pacman-based)/build-essential (apt-based)
+ make
- Display Server
- xorg
+ xinit
### Pre-Requisites
- Setup Xorg working for a user
- Prepare a .xinitrc file and .Xauthority (Generally after first startup)
### Using Makefile
- All
```console
make stop remove build run log
```
- Build dockerfile image
```console
make build
```
- Start
```console
make start
```
- Stop
```console
make stop
```
- Remove
```console
make remove
```
- Run
```console
make run
```
### Using docker run
- Build dockefile image
```console
docker build --tag=thanatisia/x11vnc -f docker/Dockerfile .
```
- Starting up container
```console
docker run -itd --name=x11vnc -e "DISPLAY=${DISPLAY}" -e "AUTH=/root/.Xauthority" -p "5906:5900" -v "${HOME}/.Xauthority:/root/.Xauthority:rw" -v "${HOME}/.vnc:/root/.vnc:rw" -v "/tmp/.X11-unix:/tmp/.X11-unix:rw" thanatisia/x11vnc
```
- Teardown/Drop container
```console
docker stop x11vnc && docker rm x11vnc
```
- Restart container
```console
docker container restart x11vnc
```
- Start a stopped container
```console
docker container start x11-vnc
```
- Stop a running container
```console
docker container stop x11-vnc
```
