¶ Installing VNC (remote desktop) and a graphical UI (X) on an vServer with Ubuntu22.04
¶ Prerequisites
- vServer
- Installed Image of Ubuntu22.04 server
- download the ISO on: https://ubuntu.com/download/server
- mount as CD-Drive
- install onto your vServer
- [or maybe easily choose an image while ordering/configuring your vServer at your cloud-provider]
¶ Optional
- I use inwx https://www.inwx.de as a DSN-Service and add an A-Record like “vnc.my-domain.com”, but you may also “speak” to your server using its IP-Address
¶ Log in as root, change password, add user
- login as root
ssh root@<server-ip-address>- (optional) check fingerprint to make sure you are talking to the right machine
- change root-password
passwd- add a user to your fresh system
(only if you do not already have a user other then root)
adduser <username>- add your new user to the sudo-group
adduser <username> sudo¶ Login as <user> and prepare your system
VNC auf x.axelganter.de

20 19/07/23 16:36:21 ss -tulpn | egrep -i 'vnc|590'
21 19/07/23 16:37:14 exit nun mit ‘ssh -Y’ zum x und dann dort den ‘vncviewer’ starten
ssh -Y x.axelganter.de
vncviewer 127.0.0.1:5901
wir müssen es auf langsam forcen können ,sonst ist das zu langsam über SSH
direct mit VNC zugreifen
sudo apt install tigervnc-viewer
ssh x.axelganter.de -L5901:localhost:5901
und dann von einem zweiten Terminal aus (client-side)
vncviewer 127.0.0.1:5901
¶ noVNC
(https://github.com/novnc/noVNC#quick-start)
#on server
sudo snap install novnc
#on client
ssh x.axelganter.de -L5901:localhost:5901
novnc --vnc localhost:5901 #client
