Hi,
i would just like to share how i got an external VNC viewer to work with the new proxmox VNC 2.0
create your KVM machine, once created get the KVM ID (e.g: 100, 120)
SSH into your proxmox host
nano /etc/pve/local/qemu-server/(THE ID).conf - ( nano /etc/pve/local/qemu-server/100.conf )
at the end of config enter the following...
args: -vnc 0.0.0.0:100
this basically tells the KVM to run a vnc from the IP 0.0.0.0 (all) on port 6000 (5900 + what port you set)
run your container, and connect via external VNC
its also possible to setup VNC with a password
you do ' args: -vnc 0.0.0.0:100,password ' instead
then go into the console and run ' set_password vnc YOURPASSWORD '
but the console command has to be run every time you start up the VM because it doesnt remember the password for some reason?
hope this works for people
kindest regards
Simon
