[Users] Enabling VNC Access to Containers

[Arjit Chaudhary]

Hi,
I came across this feature earlier today,
https://docs.openvz.org/openvz_users_guide.webhelp/_enabling_vnc_access_to_containers.html


It seems to be a very good option for providing users with a
rescue/out-of-band console option in case they get locked out via a
firewall setting etc

I tried configuring it on a VPS (container) but it seems to error no matter
what option is used,

with auto mode,

[root at dev ~]# prlctl set 100 --vnc-mode auto --vnc-port 6501 --vnc-passwd
test123
Configure VNC: Remote display: mode=auto port=6501

Unable to commit CT configuration: Unable to start the VNC server in this
virtual machine. Change the VNC server port number in the virtual machine
configuration and try again. If the problem persists, contact the Virtuozzo
support team for assistance.
Failed to configure the virtual machine.

and with manual mode as well,

[root at dev ~]# prlctl set 100 --vnc-mode manual --vnc-port 6501 --vnc-passwd
test123
Configure VNC: Remote display: mode=manual port=6501

Unable to commit CT configuration: Unable to start the VNC server in this
virtual machine. Change the VNC server port number in the virtual machine
configuration and try again. If the problem persists, contact the Virtuozzo
support team for assistance.
Failed to configure the virtual machine.

Any help would be appreciated, port 6501 is open and unused as well.
