This Docker Hub repository contains Docker images for headless working.

The images are based on the current Debian 12 and the previous Debian 11 and include Xfce desktop, TigerVNC server and noVNC client. The popular web browser Firefox is also included.

This User guide describes the images and how to use them.

The related GitHub project contains image generators that image users generally don’t need, unless they want to build the images themselves.

Tags

The following image tags are regularly built and published on Docker Hub:

  • latest (also as 12) based on Debian 12

    ![badge_latest_created][badge_latest_created] [![badge_latest_version-sticker][badge_latest_version-sticker]][link_latest_version-sticker-verbose]

  • 11 based on Debian 11

    ![badge_11_created][badge_11_created] [![badge_11_version-sticker][badge_11_version-sticker]][link_11_version-sticker-verbose]

Hint: Clicking the version sticker badge reveals more information about the particular build.

Remarks

There is also a similar sibling image accetto/ubuntu-vnc-xfce-firefox-g3 based on Ubuntu 22.04 LTS and 20.04 LTS.

This is the third generation (G3) of my headless images. The second generation (G2) contains the GitHub repository accetto/xubuntu-vnc-novnc. The first generation (G1) contains the GitHub repository accetto/ubuntu-vnc-xfce.
