idrac2_1  | Have you tried the x11vnc '-ncache' VNC client-side pixel caching feature yet?
idrac2_1  | 
idrac2_1  | The scheme stores pixel data offscreen on the VNC viewer side for faster
idrac2_1  | retrieval.  It should work with any VNC viewer.  Try it by running:
idrac2_1  | 
idrac2_1  |     x11vnc -ncache 10 ...
idrac2_1  | 
idrac2_1  | One can also add -ncache_cr for smooth 'copyrect' window motion.

Notice the /dev/null/ in the error message. Any ideas? I'm running via docker compose.

I think this stems from the change to the Zulu-jdk; https://github.com/DomiStyle/docker-idrac6/commit/4af0f047067505428e89ad1e5baeb604668f1214

I swapped back to :v0.5 and my iDracs are working again.

@Flash1232 does this solve your issue https://github.com/DomiStyle/docker-idrac6/pull/47 ?

@Flash1232

You'll need to build your own Dockerfile to fix this but its an easy fix.

In startapp.sh add

-Duser.home=/config

alongside the rest of the java options in exec java ... so like:

exec java -cp avctKVM.jar -Djava.library.path="./lib" -Duser.home=/config com.avocent.idrac.kvm.Main...

Thanks for your support! I appreciate you coming back to this issue. However, unfortunately, I again bricked my iDRAC flash memory which means the server is basically noisy scrap metal at this point. I cannot try your suggestions :(
