VNC / RDP / noVNC

Desktop access is provided by the vncnovnc module (XFCE + TigerVNC + noVNC), not by Softwares seed packages.

UI: VNC settings / logs; per-user VNC and noVNC tabs under Users. Browser access often via /novnc on port 9000 (JWT/cookie auth).

Install / setup

Use the panel VNC setup flows (and optional RDP package setup). Jobs wait on the Softwares install queue when needed so they do not race other installs.

Session files: CWS_VNC_SESSION_DIR (default /config/containerws/vnc-sessions).
