¶ Accessing Your Cloud Container via VNC
¶ Introduction
CodeSnack IDE now allows you to access your Cloud Container via VNC, giving you full control over your environment through a remote desktop interface. This feature enables you to interact with your container in a visual way, making it easier to manage files, run applications, or configure settings.
¶ How to Connect to VNC
To connect to your Cloud Container via VNC, follow these steps:
¶ 1. Retrieve Your VNC Password
Before accessing your VNC session, you need to retrieve your VNC password inside your Cloud Container. Run the following command in the terminal:
cat ~/.vnc/plain_passwd
This will output your VNC password, which you will need to use in the connection URL.
¶ 2. Construct Your VNC Access Link
Once you have your password, use the following URL format to access your container:
https://<your_id>-3020.cs-ide.io/vnc.html?autoconnect=true&reconnect=true&reconnect_delay=1000&resize=remote&password=<password>
Replace:
• <your_id> with your ID. If you don’t know your ID, follow this guide to find it.
• <password> with the password retrieved in Step 1.
¶ 3. Open the Link in Your Browser
Once you have your VNC access link, open it in any modern web browser to start your remote session.
Important Notes
• Keep CodeSnack IDE Open: Your Cloud Container will remain active only if the CodeSnack IDE app is open. If you only use VNC and do not interact with the IDE, your session will automatically terminate after 15 minutes.
• Your VNC password changes every time your Cloud Container restarts. You must retrieve the password again after each restart.
