Docs don't mention that only Newt sites are supported for VNC

[OJ7]

Path: /manage/resources/public/vnc

The code implies that only Newt sites are supported, but the docs don't specify that restriction. I also don't see my non-Newt sites showing up in the sites selector when creating a VNC resource.

Does the docs also mention ssh and rdp are for newt sites? and private resources are for newt sites?

@AstralDestiny so I found that the general Resources->Understanding Resources page does in fact break down which site types are compatible with which resource type. However, I think it would be clearer if each resource type (e.g. VNC, RDP, etc) page would mention what site type is compatible since that's the page a user would be viewing when looking to set one up.

Isn't that already on the page though?

HTTP/HTTPS, SSH, RDP, and VNC are all browser-based. You assign a fully qualified domain name (FQDN) to each resource and users open it in a web browser—no client-side software is required. Pangolin authentication and access rules protect all of these types the same way. You can configure those rules inline on each resource or share them through a resource policy.
SSH, RDP, and VNC require a Newt site. HTTP/HTTPS and TCP/UDP resources can also run on local and basic WireGuard sites.

and the private side also mentions
Private resources can only be created on Newt sites.

Which is a bit up from the resources entry.

I'm referring to the individual resources page on the docs like VNC. It makes no mention of what site type is required.

I also asked the Assistant on the docs site whether it's VNC is compatible with local sites and it said it is. I had to dig through the code to find why I wasn't able to select a local site when creating a VNC connection. After that, I stumbled across the resources/understanding-resources page which mentioned that they're not compatible (which I was surprised the Assistant glaringly missed).

The VNC page does mention:

Pangolin renders the VNC session and proxies traffic to the VNC server through a site connector.

which I guess could be referred to Newt sites, but that isn't very clear.

SSH, RDP, and VNC require a Newt site.

I'm looking for some kind of mention of the above on each of those resource pages in the docs so users know without having to navigate to another page to find that info. Hope that clarifies things.
