This file contains 3 fields (username:password:is_sudo). Where username is the login id. Password is the password. is_sudo does the user have sudo access(only Y is recognised). It also needs a "newline" at the end of the line.
Example of a CREATEUSERS.TXT file
mickey:mouse:N
daisy:duke:Y
dog:flash:n
morty:rick:wubba
In this example 4 users will be created and only daisy will have sudo rights. At every reboot it will check this file and ADD any new users.
Example of a STARTUP.SH file to change locale.
apt-get update
apt-get -y install language-pack-de language-pack-gnome-de
locale-gen de_DE.UTF-8
update-locale LANG=de_DE.UTF-8
Please note some clients need an extra parameter set glyph-cache. xfreerdp, remmina and others need this set.
Linux example of how to connect:
xfreerdp /size:1920x1140 /kbd:0x00000809 /v:%IP_ADDRESS% /gdi:hw /drive:home,$HOME +clipboard /sound:sys:alsa +glyph-cache
Windows example:
Open a command prompt and type
mstsc
Then put in the ip address of the docker host.
To automatically update I recomend using watchtower.
docker run -d \
--name watchtower \
-v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock \
containrrr/watchtower
I doubt most people would want this version but I have made available. This release contains development tools.
Screen sharing: On the master user connect using the Xvnc option and login as normal. On the desktop there is a file called session_info.txt this will contain the display number and password.
On the other clients connect using the Reconnect option.
Using the information in the session_info file:
PORT = 5900 + display number. (So if display is 11 then the port would be 5911)
USERNAME = Username of the master account.
PASSWORD = the password in the Session_info.txt file. (e.g. 1a2b3c4d)
Example of a working command line.
