VNC_PASSWORDLESS only works for Rocky base images

[groenator]

Image
consol/debian-xfce-vnc
Tag
latest
Short overview
I am using the debian version of xfce-vnc and when I set the VNC_PASSWORDLESS variable to true the container doesn't start. If I use the rocky base image, it works fine.

Detailed error description
Unable to start the container when I set the VNC_PASSWORDLESS=true in debian.

It seems this was fixed in the most recent commit 94657f6.
The corresponding image is available on Docker Hub using the nightly tag.

[groenator]

any idea when its going to reach the stable channel?

It should be in the stable v2.0.4 already.
