noVNC
A HTML VNC client JavaScript library and application that runs in modern browsers, including mobile.
What is noVNC?
noVNC is an open-source HTML VNC client library and web application that allows users to access remote desktops directly from a web browser. It implements the VNC protocol over WebSockets, enabling no-plugin remote desktop access for cloud platforms, virtualization management, and remote support. The project solves the problem of providing cross-platform VNC access without requiring native client installations.
Developers and integrators building cloud infrastructure platforms (like OpenStack or OpenNebula), virtualization management tools, or remote support solutions that require browser-based remote desktop access.
Developers choose noVNC because it's a mature, widely-adopted open-source solution that works in any modern browser, supports a wide range of VNC encodings and authentication methods, and can be easily integrated into existing systems or self-hosted.
