Home Assistant firefox-java-vnc-flash
This is my first, and an example on how to build a docker image. I had this working for along time on docker and am converting it into a Home Assistant addon. I use it to get a remote desktop session to a very old CISCO server that does not have HTML5, so it still uses Java and Flash.
