VNC Viewer - cannot connect to server

[racinfomas]

Hello,
..I wanted to use the addon but unfortunately failed. I configured it to connect to an ultravnc server in the same network but there is no activity in the log of the server.
I also cannot find any log file of the websockify to narrow the problem, only the HA supervisor plugin log is what I have. But this doesn't provide much info.
My config:
HA Supervisor: 192.168.10.246
novnc container: 172.30.33.9
UltraVNC Server: 192.168.0.201, Port: 5900, no password

HA Config:
Server: 192.168.0.201
Port: 5900
no password

I can open the WebUi of noVNC but it shows permanently: "Failed to connect to server".
Also - what are the right values for the Server, Port and Pfad fields in settings menu? (tried some but with no success).

I'm wondering what i do wrong. Do I have to start a reapeater on the server machine aswell?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
tom

Hi Tom,
the addon should not need an repeater of any kind. Websockify should be already running inside.

For me I just did it in a similar way to you. I'm connecting to a VNC server which is running on my central heating unit. Does the UltraVNC allows you to run without password?

As soon as I remember any log from Websockifys log should be also displayed on the addon log.

Thanks for your quick response!
It helps to know the addon is working anywhere :-). So the problem has to be located inside my network (config).

To your question - the VNC Server is set to run without password for testing now. But no change in behavior.
I cannot see any additional log lines after the successful start of your plugin. No matter what I try.

By any chance, is your HA instance accessed via https? I'm currently updating the addon and noticed it not working on TLS enabled instances.

A new version of the addon will be available with #293 ;)
