Angular noVNC

Port of Joel Martin's noVNC project for angularjs.

Sample app

Fullscreen mode

Install

$ bower install angular-no-vnc

Overview

• Multiple connections\displays over one page.
• Config over directive attributes.
• Full screen mode support.
• Easily scale, fit to width\height.

Usage

Start vnc & ws proxy (server-side)

This module is a port of noVNC project that means you should use websockify proxy to convert over websockets. For me it is:

$ sudo apt-get install -y x11vnc
$ x11vnc -display :0 -N -forever &

To run the websockify install angular-noVNC globally via npm:

$ npm install -g angular-no-vnc #add websockify command
$ websockify --web=.. 44999 localhost:5900

--web=.. will allow you to use sample app in ../index.html for fast check by http://localhost:44999

Note that websockify listens on /websockify path by default. If you want to use another ws path please run websockify --path your_path 44999 localhost:5900

Additional info of usage websockify is here. Others server-side features you might found here.

Use in your application (client-side)

After running websockify, or other ws:// proxy server:

• Add library to your html file and noVNC to your module dependency. var app = angular.module('myApp', ['noVNC']);

• Add directive <vnc host="localhost" port="44999" is-connected="true"></vnc>

• Reload page =)

Yes, they are should be in. This port is goes with code changes of big one (noVNC), that's why you need to use it carefully.
