The Headless Deskman
Public Unreviewedby barrett-land
A browser desktop for a headless Adom container. Runs Xvfb+fluxbox+x11vnc+noVNC inside the container and maps a *.adom.cloud port so any browser (or a Hydrogen webview tab) shows the container's GUI — no SSH tunnel, no local viewer. The container hosts the page itself. (Formerly Headview.)

adom-wiki skills install barrett-land/headless-deskmandev-skills/ or publish-skills/, so a contributor (or their AI) has no in-repo guide to build, debug, or publish it. Consider adding them; they stay source-only and never ship in the tarball.The Headless Deskman — turn a headless Adom container into a browser-accessible desktop. Use when a container has no display and you need to SEE a GUI app (KiCad, Fusion, a browser, any X11 program) running inside it, or when X11 forwarding over ssh -Y fails. Runs Xvfb+fluxbox+x11vnc+noVNC inside the container and maps a *.adom.cloud port so any browser (or a Hydrogen webview tab) shows the container's GUI.

Health: the size chip is green when right-sized, yellow when getting long, red when the model likely skims it. A green check is a passed preamble/structure signal; an amber mark is a gentle nudge, not a hard failure.
