CloudTk Version 1.4.0-55

CloudTk is based on WebSockit2me - a TCP to WebSocket gateway that uses a noVNC to display Tk or X11 applications in modern Web Browser. It runs on Linux and requires Xvnc(TigerVNC) server and the matchbox window manager to be loaded. Tk or X11 applications are listed on a web page. TclHttpd dynamically launches an Xdisplay via Xvnc and then starts a matchbox window manager and launches the Tk or X11 application.

TclHttpd is a pure Tcl implementation of a Web server. CloudTk is packaged for easy deployment as a Starkit. Just download 2 files and you're ready to go.

Some of the features include:

• Access Control for multiple users to the WebSocket to TCP gateway via Basic Authentication using an Apache-style htpasswd file. This file can be generated by an external program or the built in Access Control Editor.
• HTTPS(SSL) support built in using the Tcl TLS (1.7.21) extension for Linux 64, and Raspberry Pi.
• noVNC 1.4.0 included with the ability to upgrade to a later version.

Uses:

• Display Tk or X11 applications unmodified in a modern web browser.

  (web browsers must be capable of supporting WebSockets see Browser Support )
