Provide a screenshot and describe the bug
I followed to the letter the wiki guide to set up a Chromium user profile using noVNC, but it unfortunately does not work, even with the most simple
docker-compose.ymlon a local machine.Steps to reproduce

@pirate commented on GitHub (Oct 13, 2025):
dbus errors are a red herring, those are normal for all working browsers in docker, need full error logs to see whats wrong + more detailed description.
does that mean it wont launch any of the containers at all, or you cant connect via vnc, or you cant connect but you dont see the browser open, or you see the browser open but it's stuck? etc. need more detail
@axeleroy commented on GitHub (Oct 14, 2025):
What additional error logs and description do you need? I followed the guide as I described and VNC does not show anything.
@axeleroy commented on GitHub (Oct 14, 2025):
I just remembered that the container does not run as root and I
chowned thedatafolder so it is owned by911:911. The logs now differ, but noVNC is still stuck to "Connecting".archivebox logs:

Hi @axeleroy Did you manage to solve this, I am having exactly the same problem?
Thanks
@axeleroy commented on GitHub (Jan 25, 2026):
No, I did not and unfortunately the website I wanted to archive has since been closed down. Since I wanted to configure SinglePage, I tried to give it a configuration file but could not, my discussion on the subject has not yet received any response #1704
