Can we disable password for the kasmweb/debian-bookworm-desktop image?

[imthenachoman]

Is there an environmental variable or something we can use to disable the username/password prompt?

Also, anyway to allow HTTP and disable HTTPS redirect?

I believe you can disable SSL

network.ssl.require_ssl

I don't believe you can disable authentication. You could, however, statically embed the authorization header in a proxy that sits in front of KasmVNC, since KasmVNC uses HTTP Basic Authorization.

I'm running KasmVNC through Docker. Let me see if I can figure out how to make these changes.

Just map in your custom config to /etc/kasmvnc/kasmvnc.yaml, most likely will do the trick. You can, of course create your own custom docker image, but it is not necessary.

Yeah. I will play with this.

So you're saying, even if I disable SSL, I'll still have to login when I go to http://...?

Yes that is correct. Disabling SSL is not really something we account for (test and consider), but it is technically there for people to disable.
