We investigate the time-asymptotic stability of solutions to the one-dimensional Navier-Stokes-Fourier system in the half-space, focusing on the outflow and impermeable wall problems. When the prescribed boundary and far-field conditions form an outgoing viscous shock, we prove that the solution converges to the viscous shock profile, up to a dynamical shift, provided that the initial perturbation and the shock amplitude are sufficiently small. In order to obtain our results, we employ the method of a-contraction with shifts. Although the impermeable wall problem is technically simpler to analyze in Lagrangian mass coordinates, the outflow problem leads to a free boundary in that framework. Therefore, we use Eulerian coordinates to provide a unified approach to both problems. This is the first result on the time-asymptotic stability of viscous shocks for initial-boundary value problems of the Navier-Stokes-Fourier system for the outflow and impermeable wall cases.
