Docker Image Size (tag) Docker Pulls

Ever wanted to access and IPMI KVM console, only to find that you don't have network access or the right version of java or a compatible browser or credentials?

This container runs:

  • Xvfb - X11 in a virtual framebuffer
  • x11vnc - A VNC server that scrapes the above X11 server
  • noNVC - A HTML5 canvas vnc viewer
  • Fluxbox - a small window manager
  • Chromium - For browsing IPMI consoles
  • Java-plugin - Because... you need java to access most IPMI KVM Consoles.

Run It

# on a remote host that can reach ipmi
ssh admin
$ docker run -p 8080:8080 axlrod/ipmi-kvm-docker

# Now on your laptop
xdg-open http://admin:8080
# On a mac
open http://admin:8080
# Or just open in a browser

Custom resolution

By default, the VNC session will run with a resolution of 1024x768 (with 24-bit color depth). Custom resolutions can be specified with the docker environment variable RES, and must include color depth.

$ docker run -p 8080:8080 -e RES=1600x900x24 axlrod/ipmi-kvm-docker

Mount volume

In case you need to mount floppy/iso images to the machine you can mount a volume to the container.

$ docker run -p 8080:8080 -v /your/local/folder:/root/images axlrod/ipmi-kvm-docker
