ose-vnc

This project was created to support access to OpenShift All-In-One instances running remotely in the public cloud. See https://github.com/jim-minter/aws-ose3

Usage

The following steps can be used to deploy within the OpenShift All-In-One environment.

• Ideally this project should be hidden from the demo user, so I recommend creating using the system:admin account. Run the following as root on the instance.

  oadm new-project vnc --admin=system:admin
  oc project vnc
  oc create -f novnc.yaml 
  oc new-app novnc 
  oc env dc/novnc HOSTPORT=$(hostname):5900
  oc start-build novnc
  

• The novnc.yaml includes a build configuration, image stream, deployment configuration, service and exposed route. The result should be that the NoVNC client is available at https://desktop-vnc.apps./vnc.html

• The container runs a websockify client (just the unmodified NoVNC utility https://github.com/kanaka/noVNC) providing a websock proxy for the host's VNC server listening on 5900.

• A script create-novnc.sh is included to automate the above steps.
