novnc_proxy(1)

🎀 NAME 🎀

novnc_proxy — noVNC proxy server. that's it, that's the whole thing bestie, and she's iconic for it 💅

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

novnc_proxy [--listen [HOST:]PORT] [--vnc VNC_HOST:PORT] [--cert CERT]
[--ssl-only]

okay so picture this: she fires up the WebSockets proxy and a lil mini-webserver, then hands you a cut-and-paste URL to go to. that's the whole vibe. you copy, you paste, you're in. main character energy fr fr 🦋

🌸 the options 🌸

• --listen [HOST:]PORT — the port the proxy/webserver listens on. Default? 6080, and she's on all interfaces by default, so she's loud and proud, no hiding 💖
• --vnc VNC_HOST:PORT — the VNC server host:port she's proxying to, i.e. the target. Default: localhost:5900
• --cert CERT — path to a combined cert/key file. OR, if you're also passing --key, just the cert file alone. Default: self.pem
• --key KEY — path to the key file, for when it's not combined with the cert, so they're separate little files doing their own thing 🎀
• --web WEB — path to your web files (like vnc.html). Default: ./
• --ssl-only — disables non-https connections. periodt. no plaintext allowed, we're being ✨secure✨
• --record FILE — records traffic to FILE.session.js 👑
• --syslog SERVER — can be a local socket like /dev/log, or a UDP host:port pair.
• --heartbeat SEC — sends a ping to the client every SEC seconds 💓
• --timeout SEC — after SEC seconds, she exits when not connected
• --idle-timeout SEC — the server exits after SEC seconds if there are no active connections. she's not gonna just sit there waiting forever, she has boundaries 💀

ngl bestie, --cert, --key, --web, --record, --syslog, --heartbeat, --timeout and --idle-timeout are all up in there in the original options block but they do not show up in the SYNOPSIS line — that's just how it is, don't come for me 🙈
