Panelica includes a Virtual Desktop feature that provides browser-based graphical desktop access to your server using VNC and noVNC.
The Virtual Desktop feature allows you to access a graphical desktop environment on your server directly from your web browser — no VNC client software required.
When you open the Virtual Desktop for the first time, noVNC will prompt you for a password. The default VNC password is:
Code:
panelicaEnter this password to connect to the remote desktop session.
- Browser-based — Access via noVNC (HTML5 VNC client), works in any modern browser
