x11vnc | ssvnc 'ReadExact: Socket error while reading'












1















I have a x11vnc (http://www.karlrunge.com/x11vnc/) server running.



If encryption = 0 everything is working as expected and I can connect to the server via TightVNC Viewer without any problems.



If encryption = 1 I have to use SSVNC (http://www.karlrunge.com/x11vnc/ssvnc.html) to connect to the server. The client is successfully connecting, fetching the certificate, but then it fails to connect.



The x11vnc is running inside of this Docker container:
- https://hub.docker.com/r/dcflachs/veracrypt-gui/ (https://github.com/dcflachs/docker-containers/tree/master/veracrypt)
