etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d/99-vncconfig.sh #!/bin/sh Optionally, autostart vncconfig so that the clipboard works ( vncconfig exits immediately in non-VNC sessions). Since we only select a user after connecting, the VNC server runs as user nobody and uses Xvnc directly instead of the vncserver script, so any options in ~/.vnc are ignored. If the VNC server is exposed to the internet, add the -localhost option to Xvnc in (note that -query localhost and -localhost are different switches) and follow #Accessing vncserver via SSH tunnels. Now any number of users can get unique desktops by connecting to port 5900. Use systemctl to start and enable xvnc.socket. To get this running, first set up XDMCP and make sure the display manager is running.ĮxecStart=-/usr/bin/Xvnc -inetd -query localhost -geometry 1920x1080 -once -SecurityTypes=None The downside is that users cannot leave a session running on the server and reconnect to it later. This setup uses the display manager to authenticate users and login, so there is no need for VNC passwords. One can use systemd socket activation in combination with XDMCP to automatically spawn VNC servers for each user who attempts to login, so there is no need to set up one server/port per user.

For example:Īlwaysshared Starting and stopping tigervnc desktop files within /usr/share/xsessions/. One can see which desktop environments are available on the system by seeing their corresponding. Create ~/.vnc/config and at a minimum, define the type of session desired with a line like session=foo where foo corresponds to whichever desktop environment is to run.
If another parallel server is needed, a second instance can then run on the next highest, free port, i.e 5902 (5900+2). The number in the file corresponds to a TCP port. Each user defined in this file will have a corresponding port on which its session will run. Edit /etc/tigervnc/ers to define user mappings.
Create a password using vncpasswd which will store the hashed password in ~/.vnc/passwd.
Users are encouraged to read vncserver(8) for the complete list of configuration options. Note: Linux systems can have as many VNC servers as memory allows, all of which will be running in parallel to each other.įor a quick start, see the steps below.
