That was my initial thought too Jeff. I bind mounted `/var/lib/dbus/machine-id` and am getting the following in my `output.log`:

```bash

Desktop 'TurboVNC: node137:1 (user)' started on display node137:1

Log file is vnc.log
Successfully started VNC server on node137:5901...
Script starting...
Launching desktop 'xfce'...

_IceTransmkdir: Owner of /tmp/.ICE-unix should be set to root
/usr/lib/python3.6/site-packages/websockify/websocket.py:31: UserWarning: no 'numpy' module, HyBi protocol will be slower
  warnings.warn("no 'numpy' module, HyBi protocol will be slower")
WebSocket server settings:
  - Listen on :47677
  - No SSL/TLS support (no cert file)
  - Backgrounding (daemon)
Scanning VNC log file for user authentications...
Generating connection YAML file...

```

The job is running, but still getting the “Can’t connect to server” VNC error.
