Hello,
Setting up VNC Server is made simple. We have already installed VNC Viewer and a lightweight Ubuntu Desktop (Xfce4).
If you would like to access VNC then you can do so by enabling VNC.
To do this please follow these instructions:
1. Login to SSH using PuTTY
2. Type: vncserver
3. You will be asked to enter a password, please type a strong password of your choice, and then confirm it when asked to do so. (Your password will be invisible although you are typing)
4. Close your SSH Connection by closing PuTTY (you can type exit command or cross it off)
5. Load your VNC Viewer, and type your VPS IP and add :5901 (Should look like this 12.34.56.78:5901)
6. You will be asked to enter your VNC Password (This is the password which you chose within SSH on PuTTY)
Thats it!
You should now see Ubuntu Xfce4 Desktop
Please note: You will need to run the vncserver command every time your VPS is rebooted in order to keep your VNC Server active, we did this for security reasons. If you would prefer that your VNC Connection is always active even after reboot then please open a support ticket. You will only be asked to choose a password on the first time you type the vncserver command.
Thank you for reading!
