## What it is
A Docker image that exposes an Ubuntu LXDE/LXQt desktop environment through a browser-based VNC (noVNC) web interface. It supports VNC viewer access, HTTP basic auth, SSL, and adaptive screen resolution.

## Use cases
- run a linux desktop in a browser
- access ubuntu desktop via vnc from a web browser
- spin up a disposable remote desktop container
- test gui applications in an ubuntu environment
- provide remote desktop access to a server
- browser-based vnc client for docker containers

## When to choose
- you need a lightweight browser-accessible Linux desktop without installing anything on the client
- you want a quick disposable Ubuntu GUI environment for testing or demos
- you need remote desktop access with optional password protection and SSL

## When to avoid
- you need a production-grade, high-performance remote desktop solution
- you require GPU-accelerated or multimedia-heavy desktop workloads
- you need a desktop environment other than LXDE/LXQt or a non-Ubuntu distribution
