Architectural overview of GUIdock-VNC. In the proposed architecture, each container is a self-contained web server that can be accessed using a single port. When deployed on the cloud, the services can be accessed using the cloud provider's network address translation (NAT) mechanism. Each container is also capable of OAuth2 authentication that can be enabled while deploying the application. Once enabled, the user will be required to sign in through an identity provider (such as Google in the current prototype). After the authentication, the user browser will be automatically redirected to the application.
