antd-wvnc-plugin

An Antd HTTP/HTTPS server's plugin that acts as a bridge between a VNC server and web applications. It allows web application to communicate with VNC server using web socket via a predefined protocol and message format. Web application can use my dedicate javascript library called wvnc.js to communicate with the VNC server using the plugin.

To speed up the data transmission, WVNC uses libjpeg for image compression.

Build from source

As WVNC is an Antd's plugin, the server need to be pre-installed:

build dep

• git
• make
• build-essential
• ant-http (libantd.so)

Plugin Dependencies

• libjpeg-turbo
• libvncserver-dev

build

When all dependencies are installed, the build can be done with a few single command lines:

# replace x.x.x by a version number
wget -O- https://get.iohub.dev/antd_plugin | bash -s "wvnc-x.x.x"

# or from the distribution tarball
tar xvzf wvnc-x.x.x.tar.gz
cd wvnc-x.x.x
./configure --prefix=/opt/www --enable-debug=yes
make
sudo make install

Run

To run the Antd server with the wvnc plugin:

/path/to/your/build/antd

Web applications can be put on /path/to/your/build/htdocs, the web socket to wvnc is available at:

ws://your_host:your_port/wvnc

This websocket address can be used with my client side javascript library wvnc.js to provide web based VNC client
