[Question]: Standard novnc port 8006 about windows

[kroese]

The VNC server is running on the container-side (because it is part of QEMU), and any software you install on the Windows-side is running inside the VM.

So thats why you can still get a picture via VNC even if Windows crashed for example, because the VNC server is not part of Windows.

The reason why port 8006 is not blocked is because I forward all ports to Windows, EXCEPT port 8006 which is forwarded to the container instead.

If you want to forward more ports to the container, you can add them to the compose file with an environment variable:HOST_PORTS: "123,567". You dont need to add 8006 to that list, because its added by default.

Thank you very much for the prompt response!
unfortunately, this does not work : (apparently, the connection between the container and the windows VM is still blocked by the firewall software.
I have installed realvnc-server on a windows machine, trying different random ports. in the config "compose.yaml" I specify in the environment variable HOST_PORTS: "8008", but it does not work. is it possible to install a full-fledged vnc server in a container, and not in a windows machine? so that it works, for example, on the default port 5900? Thanks!

in general, the purpose of my request is to access the windows machine not through a browser, but through some kind of client, be it vnc or rdp.
