# VNC in Coder

A [sample image](https://github.com/cdr/enterprise-images/tree/main/images/vnc) for Coder that uses [noVNC](https://github.com/novnc/noVNC) as the client and [TigerVNC](https://tigervnc.org) as the server. You can find it on [Dockerhub](https://hub.docker.com/r/codercom/enterprise-vnc).

## To connect

- Option 1 (Web): Click the "Desktop" application from the Coder dashboard on any workspace that uses this VNC image.

- Option 2 (SSH Tunneling): Connect from your local VNC Client. Expose the VNC server to your local machine. You will need the [coder-cli](https://github.com/cdr/coder-cli) and any VNC client installed on your local machine.

    ```sh
    coder config-ssh
    # Forward the remote VNC server to your local machine
    coder tunnel vnc-ux 5990 5990
    # You will not see any output if it succeeds, but you
    # will be able to connect your VNC client to localhost:5990
    ```

- Option 3 (Web): Create a dev URL on port `6081` and navigate to it
