Hey,
I setup the docker image from urielch/chrome-vnc on my HA machine with the following settings:
docker run -d --rm -p 6200:5900 -e EXTRA_CHROME_OPTION="–lang=de-DE,de" -e X11_W=768 -e X11_H=1024 -e URL=HomeAssistantIPAddress:8123 --name chrome-ubu urielch/chrome-vnc:ubuntu
This one can run on a Raspberry Pi (mine is a RPi4 8 GB).
I had problems with the suggested ports 5900:5900, so I changed them to 6200:5900.
Now I can logon with my old iPad 2 via VNCviewer to HomeAssistantIPAddress:6…
here my command :
sudo docker run -d -e VNC_SCREEN_SIZE=1024x768 --name chromeProfile -p MY_LOCAL_IP:5900:5900 siomiz/chrome
The issue is “(the login form didn’t show and it just said “initializing””, i just want the app to load in order to push Ipad sensors.
Any idea for manualy forging the auth request ?
If you are not familiar with deploying docker images, use tileboard instead maybe. They at least have an addon:
# TileBoard
A simple yet highly customizable dashboard for Home Assistant. The main goal of this project was to create a simple dashboard with an easy way to edit and add functionality with minimum knowledge of javascript and html.
Should you have any ideas or questions please post them on the home-assistant forum or create an issue on Github.
## Installation
1. Go to `Supervisor`, then click `Add-on Store`.
2. Click the "three dots" in the top-right corner and select `Repositories`.
3. Enter `https://github.com/resoai/TileBoard-addon` in the input field and click `Add`.
4. The `Tileboard` addon should appear in the list. Click it and then click `Install`.
## Configuration
Configure the `configFolder` in the configuration tab (defaults to `tileboard`). This should be a folder inside of `config/`. Add your configuration files in the configured folder.
Note: You can use the Home Assistant add-ons like `File editor` or `Visual Studio Code` to manage your configuration files.
Here are various configuration files that can be added to that folder:

Thanks ! I will have a look , nice day
Hi everyone. Been looking through several topics here on getting an old ipad 4th gen to work as a dedicated, wall mounted dashboard. Right now i’m running a docker firefox instance which i connect to from the ipad through VNC Viewer (somehow through the browser/safari i cannot get it to connect).
So far so good, this works pretty well. However, during my tests I seem to notice the ipad’s screen never goes off/into sleep while connected to the VNC. Has anyone got any pointers in how to get this to work so that the screen of the ipad does go off after some time? Perhaps i need to try different vnc apps? any help would be greatly appreciated!
