x11vnc - Sharing screen in viewonly mode with multiple clients
For a school project i need to share my desktop with multiple clients on a LAN environement.
There will be approximatively 10 simultanous clients in view only mode.
I cant install softwares on the client side, so my choice at the moment is to use x11vnc in viewonly mode, noVNC and websockify to allow clients to connect through a web browser.
- Is x11vnc or 'VNC' a good option for this ?
- What about performances ? (The vnc server will be a core i5 laptop with 2 running vm - working well without freezes, but i wonder if VNC will slow down everything or not)
- Should I set the -alwaysshared and the -dontdisconnect options on x11vnc (unsure) ?
- Is the -ncache option usefull in this case ?
- What about security ?
Here's my x11vnc command at the moment:
x11vnc -nocursorshape -cursor arrow -arrow 1 -noxfixes -forever -display :0 -viewonly -nopw -alwaysshared -dontdisconnect
I had to mess with cursors and the -noxfixes options because it wasnt showing my cursor on the noVNC web interface.
I successfully got to have x11vnc working along with a noVNC web interface, it is working well but i cant test with multiple clients (i cant untill i need to-).
Any advices would be very appreciated. Also, i'm open to alternatives, but i repeat that i cant install client-side softwares and that i need this in a LAN environement.
Thanks for your time.
