I know what I can use Selenoid-UI to connect to running webdriver container using my browser. But is there any ability to connect to container using one of VNC clients?

Two possible ways:

1) Launch browser VNC container as follows and connect with any VNC client using vnc://localhost:4444 and password selenoid:

$ docker run -d --name browser -p 4444:4444 -p 5900:5900 selenoid/vnc:firefox_58.0

2) Use Selenoid /vnc/ API. Having some running session ID, e.g. bd0415ac-3cbc-427d-b1e6-d142889a6afa you can access a web-socket proxying VNC traffic like this:

ws://selenoid-host.example.com:4444/vnc/bd0415ac-3cbc-427d-b1e6-d142889a6afa

Getting VNC traffic from web-socket is a built-in feature of some web-based VNC clients, e.g. noVNC used in Selenoid UI.

Simpliest way to open VNC to selenoid:

localhost:4444 - selenoid server

https://novnc.com/noVNC/vnc.html?host=localhost&port=4444&path=vnc/2a398b1d73ca57e2559ad4ca785abae3&password=selenoid
