Restart Services

Goorm will put container into sleep mode after a couple of hours. Your service might not automatically come up. In this case, you will need to manually restart your services:

root@goorm:~/.vnc# service --help Usage: service < option > | --status-all | [ service_name [ command | --full-restart ] ] root@goorm:~/.vnc# service --status-all [ + ] apache-htcacheclean [ - ] apache2 [ ? ] apport [ - ] cron [ - ] dbus [ - ] hddtemp [ ? ] hwclock.sh [ - ] lm-sensors [ - ] mysql [ - ] procps [ + ] ssh [ + ] udev [ - ] unattended-upgrades [ - ] x11-common root@goorm:~/.vnc# service apache2 restart * Restarting Apache httpd web server apache2 AH00558: apache2: Could not reliably determine the server's fully qualified domain name, using 172.17.0.3. Set the 'ServerName' directive globally to suppress this message ...done. root@goorm:~/.vnc# 

Install VNC xfce desktop

Run following commands from terminal then you will have nice xfce deskotp through VNC protocol to use. Firefox will be installed as your browser.

sudo apt update sudo apt install vnc4server -y sudo apt install xfce4 xfce4-goodies -y sudo apt install firefox -y vncpasswd sudo vncserver -geometry 1366x768 

To run the VNC: sudo vncserver -geometry 1920x1080
Now, go to the container settings and do a port forwarding rule with the port: 5901

Troubleshooting

If you only got a grey desktop after logged in, you might need to change xstartup file a bit and restart the vnc server. 

Here are the steps:

1. Check which session your VNC server is running on.

In our case, it is running on :2 session, and port is 5902.

root@goorm:~/.vnc# netstat -na Active Internet connections (servers and established) Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address Foreign Address State tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:22 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:6002 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN tcp 0 0 172.17.0.3:22 172.17.0.1:45786 ESTABLISHED tcp 0 0 172.17.0.3:22 172.17.0.1:45782 ESTABLISHED tcp 0 0 172.17.0.3:22 172.17.0.1:45780 ESTABLISHED tcp 0 0 172.17.0.3:22 172.17.0.1:45784 ESTABLISHED tcp 0 0 172.17.0.3:22 172.17.0.1:45756 ESTABLISHED tcp6 0 0 :::22 :::* LISTEN tcp6 0 0 :::66 :::* LISTEN tcp6 0 0 :::5902 :::* LISTEN Active UNIX domain sockets (servers and established) Proto RefCnt Flags Type State I-Node Path unix 2 [ ACC ] STREAM LISTENING 7850922 @/tmp/dbus-yRryDTk3eu 

2. Modify /root/.vnc/xstartup file

root@goorm:~/.vnc# pwd /root/.vnc root@goorm:~/.vnc# ls goorm:1.log goorm:1.pid goorm:2.log goorm:2.pid goorm:3.log goorm:3.pid passwd xstartup root@goorm:~/.vnc# cat xstartup #!/bin/sh DESKTOP_SESSION=xfce export DESKTOP_SESSION startxfce4 vncserver-virtual -kill $DISPLAY root@goorm:~/.vnc# 

3. Kill VNC Server session 2

root@goorm:~/.vnc# vncserver -kill :2 perl: warning: Setting locale failed. perl: warning: Please check that your locale settings: LANGUAGE = "en_US.UTF-8", LC_ALL = (unset), LANG = "en_US.UTF-8" are supported and installed on your system. perl: warning: Falling back to the standard locale ("C"). Killing Xvnc4 process ID 439 root@goorm:~/.vnc# 

4. Restart VNC Server 

root@goorm:~/.vnc# netstat -na Active Internet connections (servers and established) Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address Foreign Address State tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:22 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN tcp 0 0 172.17.0.3:22 172.17.0.1:45786 ESTABLISHED tcp 0 0 172.17.0.3:22 172.17.0.1:45782 ESTABLISHED tcp 0 0 172.17.0.3:22 172.17.0.1:45780 ESTABLISHED tcp 0 0 172.17.0.3:22 172.17.0.1:45784 ESTABLISHED tcp 0 0 172.17.0.3:22 172.17.0.1:45756 ESTABLISHED tcp6 0 0 :::22 :::* LISTEN tcp6 0 0 :::66 :::* LISTEN Active UNIX domain sockets (servers and established) Proto RefCnt Flags Type State I-Node Path root@goorm:~/.vnc# sudo vncserver -geometry 1366x768 perl: warning: Setting locale failed. perl: warning: Please check that your locale settings: LANGUAGE = "en_US.UTF-8", LC_ALL = (unset), LANG = "en_US.UTF-8" are supported and installed on your system. perl: warning: Falling back to the standard locale ("C"). Warning: goorm:1 is taken because of /tmp/.X1-lock Remove this file if there is no X server goorm:1 New 'goorm:2 (root)' desktop is goorm:2 Starting applications specified in /root/.vnc/xstartup Log file is /root/.vnc/goorm:2.log root@goorm:~/.vnc#
