How to connect to your REPL through VNC
Hey all,
I recently wondered, how do I connect to a REPL through my own website? I did my research and I saw a Replit blog that explained it. At first it didn't work but I put matters into my own hands and made it easier to do.
First, create your REPL. Before even copy/pasting code or adding code, you need to go to Secrets > Add secret. Name it VNC_PASSWORD and put the value as whatever you want. This is important to connect to your REPL.
Once you have set up the password, add your code and whatever. Run it, and then once there is a graphical display, we can connect to it.
To connect it, you can do it one or two ways:
One: Use my website to connect to your REPL in a simpler way,
Two: Use the main NoVNC page to connect to it
I will be focusing on my website, although if you want to use the NoVNC page, you can view this tutorial: https://docs.replit.com/hosting/streaming-native-graphics-vnc
Open up a new window. In there, paste this:
https://childlike-polar-plot.glitch.me/?password={VNC_PASSWORD}&replit-username={YOUR USERNAME HERE}&repl-name={REPL NAME HERE}
Replace {VNC_PASSWORD} with the secret that you set earlier, {YOUR USERNAME HERE} with your Replit username, and {REPL NAME HERE} with the name of your REPL.
If you followed my steps correctly, it should look like this:
If it didn't work, check that you put your "VNC_PASSWORD" secret before running your code, or check if it's if there at all! If not, create a new REPL and put the secret before running your code.
If this helped you with something, thanks for sticking around.
Till' next time,
