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. Running Xvnc with XDMCP for on demand sessions #ExecStart=/usr/bin/x0vncserver -PAMService=login -PlainUsers=$ -SecurityTypes=TLSPlain ~/.config/systemd/user/rvice ĮxecStartPre=/bin/sh -c 'while ! pgrep -U "$USER" Xorg do sleep 2 done'ĮxecStart=/usr/bin/x0vncserver -rfbauth %h/.vnc/passwd In order to have a VNC Server running x0vncserver, which is the easiest way for most users to quickly have remote access to the current desktop, create a systemd unit as follows replacing the user and the options with the desired ones:

Starting and stopping x0vncserver via systemd See: Issue #529.Ī simple way to start x0vncserver is adding a line in one of the xprofile files such as:

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.
TIGERVNC SERVER APPLET PASSWORD
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.
