CHANGELOG

Project accetto/xubuntu-vnc

Docker Hub - Git Hub - Wiki - Hierarchy

Final release 21.03.3

The repository is retired and archived. It will not be developed any further and the related images on Docker Hub will not be rebuilt any more. They will phase out and they will be deleted after becoming too old.

Please use the newer third generation (G3) repositories accetto/headless-coding-g3 and accetto/headless-drawing-g3 and the related images on Docker Hub instead.

If you still need images based on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS, then use the second generation (G2) repository accetto/xubuntu-vnc-novnc, which will be still maintained.
