Unable to to VNC into itself on MacOS #27

Closed mikecebul closed 1 week ago

mikecebul commented 1 year ago

I installed this image on a m2 Mac Mini. I got it running with no issues. My goal is to access the mac away from outside the network. Plus a little benefit of having a container to connect to other machines. I setup a Cloudflare Tunnel to access the mac on port 8080. I can access guacamole with no issues. But I cant get guacamole to connect to the host computer (the Mac) through vnc. I set up the mac settings to allow VNC connections and tested with a vnc client, again no issues. But I can not get a VNC connection to the Mac Mini from the Guacamole server that is running on it. I'm starting to lose my mind trying different things and I could really use some guidance. I put in the local IP (192.168.1.103), or 127.0.0.1, or localhost, with port 5900. I've tried adding user credentials, I've tried not using a name and only the VNC password, and every other combination you can think of. It's as if the docker container is unable to talk to the local network. I found this closed issue (https://github.com/abesnier/docker-guacamole/issues/22) but am unsure how it applies to my situation. I can't find any useful info in the logs, it just times out every time. Please someone help me.

Hi,

Indeed, issue 22 was more on how to retrieve the correct IP of the users.

Regarding your issue, does the connection to VNC works locally ? ie from your Guacamole client to your VNC server? What VNC server are you using?

I have had issues to make VNC work (on Debian), but that was an issue with my VNC server and not Guacamole.
