Virtual Desktop (VNC/noVNC) — Remote GUI Access​

Panelica includes a Virtual Desktop feature that provides browser-based graphical desktop access to your server using VNC and noVNC.

Overview​

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.

First Login​

When you open the Virtual Desktop for the first time, noVNC will prompt you for a password. The default VNC password is:

Code:
panelica

Enter this password to connect to the remote desktop session.

Key Features​

  • Browser-based — Access via noVNC (HTML5 VNC client), works in any modern browser
  • No client software — No need to install VNC Viewer or any desktop application
  • Clipboard support — Copy and paste between your local machine and the remote desktop
  • Keyboard mapping — Proper keyboard handling including special keys
  • Responsive — Desktop scales to your browser window
  • Secure connection — Encrypted real-time connection through the panel

Use Cases​

  • Running GUI applications that have no CLI equivalent
  • Database administration with graphical tools
  • Testing web applications in a browser on the server
  • Training and demonstration purposes
  • Managing desktop applications remotely

Technical Details​

  • VNC server runs on the server with a lightweight desktop environment
  • noVNC provides the HTML5 bridge between the browser and VNC
  • Connection is proxied through the panel for security
  • Sessions are isolated per user

Access Control​

  • Virtual Desktop access is controlled through page permissions in the user plan
  • ROOT has access by default
  • Other roles require explicit permission grants
