noVNC

Is it possible to add noVNC to Pi-Apps?

If this is added is it possible during the install process to select a port number for the VNC server.

Thanks, slashtechno

Why not TeamViewer or realVNC?

NoVNC allows access to vnc server through a web browser. Teamviewer and RealVNC do not have a web portal.

Unaware of the tool but it seems its already in the raspberry pi apt repo, simply run sudo apt update && sudo apt install novnc

Hope this helps @slashtechno

It does install but there does not seem to be a command to use it. On the NoVNC repo it does not mention APT being used. That is why I am suggesting it to Pi-Apps.

It looks like the novnc apt package installs this file intended to be run:

/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/novnc/__init__.py

That's likely not useful.

So can this be added to Pi-Apps?

Thank you. Also Pi-Apps is amazing.

novnc is available via apt with novnc it looks like all versions of debian current use v1.0.0 for some reason (from 2018) I guess that Thomas Goirand <[email protected]>does not want to update the package on debian for some reason?

it appears to me that novnc has moved to snap as its primary distribution method (gross)

this may still be feasible to build from source though and package into a deb, npm is used for building and the application is pretty much pure javascript

Sorry for not understanding the installation of software on Linux fully when I created this issue two years ago.

I agree that this might not be a great addition.
