Ubuntu GUI Docker

This project provides a Dockerized Ubuntu 24.04 environment with an XFCE4 desktop, accessible via VNC or a web browser (noVNC).

Prerequisites

• Docker
• Docker Compose

Usage

1. Build the image:

   docker compose build

2. Start the container:

   docker compose up -d

3. Access the GUI:

   • Web Browser (noVNC): Open http://localhost:6080/vnc.html
   • VNC Client: Connect to localhost:5901

4. Login:

   • Password: password (default, configured in docker-compose.yml)

Configuration

• Resolution: Change VNC_RESOLUTION in docker-compose.yml.
• Password: Change VNC_PASSWORD in docker-compose.yml.
• Data Persistence: The ./data directory is mounted to /home/appuser/data inside the container.

Troubleshooting

• If the desktop shows a grey screen, ensure entrypoint.sh is executable and correctly creates ~/.vnc/xstartup.
• Check logs with docker compose logs.
