Managing cloud VMs should be simple, flexible, and stress-free. That’s why with our latest v0.8.0 release, we’re introducing one of the most requested features: the VNC Console.
Now, you can access and control your VM directly from your browser — no extra software, no complicated setup.
What is a VNC Console?
A VNC (Virtual Network Computing) Console lets you view and interact with your virtual machine just like you’re sitting right in front of it.
- No SSH or RDP needed — connect instantly from your browser.
- Graphical & terminal access — works whether you’re running a Linux CLI or a full desktop environment.
- Safe & reliable — built into Raff’s dashboard, always secured by your account.
Why This Matters for Developers
We know developers and teams often need quick fixes and direct control:
⚡ Troubleshooting made easier — Forgot to configure SSH? No problem — log in through the VNC console and fix it.
🖱️ GUI-friendly environments — If you’re testing desktop-based apps, you can interact visually instead of relying only on the terminal.
🌍 Work anywhere — Whether you’re at your office desk, coffee shop, or on the go, your VM is just a browser tab away.
How to Use VNC Console in Raff
- Log in to your Raff dashboard.
- Head to your VM list and select the instance.
- Click “Open VNC Console.”
Instantly, you’ll see your VM boot screen and interface — ready to use.
💡 Pro Tip: Combine the VNC console with our new VM reset & OS change options for full control in just a few clicks.
