On Synology host network, VNC prompts for authentication

[technerdist]

I tend to have connectivity issues on the default bridge network on my Synology's Docker instance. Because of this, I like to put my containers on the host network. Well, unlike the bridge network, when I connect to the container on the host network, I get a prompt for authentication to NOVNC. I'm not sure of the password, or a password that would work in this context. Please assist me understand how to mitigate this issue.

you can check the docs for setting up a vnc password you know; i don't know why it would ask for one based on the network used by the container

I just rebuilt my container with the NOVNC variable set to a password of my choosing, but I still get the same authentication failure.

-e VNCPWD="pw" \

could you test with a password that's at least 6 characters long?

[technerdist]

I used a password quite longer than 5 characters long.
