Config

This container is based on the linuxserver.io kasmvnc base image, so you can use their mods and additional configs if you want.

Parameter	Function
-p 3000	Web Desktop GUI
-p 3001	Web Desktop GUI HTTPS
-e PUID=1000	For UserID
-e PGID=1000	For GroupID
-e TZ=Etc/UTC	Specify a timezone to use, see this list.
-e SUBFOLDER=/	Specify a subfolder to use with reverse proxies, IE /subfolder/
-e TITLE=Webtop	String which will be used as page/tab title in the web browser.
-v /config	abc user's home directory, stores local files and settings
-v /var/run/docker.sock	Docker Socket on the system, if you want to use Docker in the container
--device /dev/dri	Add this for GL support (Linux hosts only)
--shm-size=	We set this to 1 gig to prevent modern web browsers from crashing
--security-opt seccomp=unconfined	For Docker Engine only, many modern gui apps need this to function on older hosts as syscalls are unknown to Docker.

Usage

To access the container, navigate to the ip address for your machine with the port you provided at the setup.

• http://yourhost:3000/
