    Kali noVNC as a service

    I used
    "Kali In The Browser (noVNC)" - https://www.kali.org/docs/general-us...li-in-browser/
    tutorial on installing and setting up noVNC - all good. Now I am trying to set it up as a service and it doesn't work.

    Here are my files:
    x11vnc.service
    Description="x11vnc"
    Requires=display-manager.service
    After=display-manager.service

    [Service]
    ExecStart=/usr/bin/x11vnc -xkb -noxrecord -noxfixes -noxdamage -display :0 -auth guess -rfbauth /etc/x11vnc.pass
    ExecStop=/usr/bin/killall x11vnc
    Restart=on-failure
    Restart-sec=2

    [Install]
    WantedBy=multi-user.target
    novnc.service
    [Unit]
    Description = start noVNC service
    After=syslog.target network.target

    [Service]
    Type=simple
    User=kali
    ExecStart = /usr/share/novnc/utils/novnc_proxy --listen 8081 --vnc localhost:5900

    [Install]
    WantedBy=multi-user.target

    I didn't make any changes, why I am getting "websockify" error?

    You have a permissions issue stopping the VNC server from connecting to the local host;
