* ### How can I view the screen?
|
|
|

The container includes a web-based viewer, so you can visit [http://localhost:8006/](http://localhost:8006/) using any webbrowser to view the screen and interact with Windows via the keyboard/mouse.

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Alternatively it is also possible to connect to port 5900 using a VNC client like RealVNC or many others.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This is mainly for use during installation, as afterwards you can use Remote Desktop, TeamViewer or any other software you prefer.
