How to run

environment variables

Use by adding -e VAR=VALUE to your docker run command

VNC_PORT

• Default 5900
  Specify which port vnc should run on, can also be set with an environment variable

NOVNC_PORT

• Default 6080

SCREEN_RESOLUTION

• Default 1024x768x16
  This value is passed to Xvfb for vnc and novnc builds and specifies the resolution of the virtual window

sudo docker run -d --init \
	-v /home/tribler/.Tribler:/home/tribler/.Tribler \
	-v /my/download/folder:/TriblerDownloads \
        -e SCREEN_RESOLUTION="1280x1024x16" \
	--name docker-tribler-vnc \
	pimlie/docker-tribler-vnc

Tribler runs as a new user tribler in the docker container, this user has by default uid 1000. When binding folders you need to make sure the local user with the same uid has write access to those folders

Then browse to http://<host_ip>:6080 or open a connection to port 5900 with your favorite vnc viewer

To do

• add possibility to use a password for vnc
