Description

Install and setup noVNC along with websockify.

Setup

What novnc affects

This will will try to setup the non-webserver parts of a noVNC site.

Setup Requirements OPTIONAL

You are expected to setup the actual VNC server yourself.

Beginning with novnc

Usage

class { 'novnc': }

The noVNC client takes a parameter vnc_sessions with a format of:

novnc::vnc_servers:
  session_name: server:port
  other_session_name: server:otherport

Limitations

You must manage you own firewall settings.

There are too may ways folks may want to setup the webserver, so no attempt is made here to provide hooks for the websockets proxy via httpd or nginx.

If you want to use the SSL wrapper for websockify you are responsible to depoy the cert, key, CA, and set the parameters you need.

Development
