How do I run websockify on linux?

Question

I've downloaded websockify, but now I don't know how to run it.

this isn't a programming question really, better suited for either superuser or serverfault — Epicblood, Jun 01 '15 at 22:11

@Rui Fonseca, I upvoted your question because indeed, the README doesn't make any mention of this. I lurked around google for a while before I found how to run it. — vincent, Oct 20 '19 at 02:00

To show usage information:

./run --help

To listen on port 6080 (WebSocket) and forward to localhost port 5900 (TCP):

./run 6080 :5900

To enable the embedded static file webserver and forward to a remote server:

./run --web /path/to/novnc 6080 remote_hostname:5900
