Docker Sandbox Script – Now with VNC!

Thought I might post a follow-up to my previous post.

As mentioned they lock our computers down at my new company, so I needed a way to test code in a unrestricted environment.

Today, I took it a step further with the addition of a GUI utilizing a VNC Server.

As a bonus I even managed to get RuneScape running on it and it runs suprisingly well, no skips/lag/delay of any kind!

Below is the source if you’d like to try it out.
