HOW-TO: build a cheap vnc environment with docker

HOW-TO: build a cheap vnc environment with docker

USE-CASE: 
A docker container providing a desktop environment which can be used with any vnc client. 
But with  GUACAMOLE (also a docker container) any (hml5) browser can now connect and use this desktop environment!

HOW-TO:
Install an image with a desktop environment, accessible with a vnc-client:

docker vnc server


A Mac has a build-in vnc client, access it with safari:

And let it connect with the docker host:

And use the password 'vnc-password'


Thats simple, but you need a vnc client. Lets stream the desktop environment with html5 to a browser, so no vnc client needs to be installed. 
we only need a browser!

And now you can access and use the desktop in a browser, no vnc client necessary!
