![]() ![]() Xrdp – Looked promising but it looks to be unmaintained. I’m not sure if it can be run in headless mode but I’m listing it in case it can, because for me it was the fastest vnc server around. ![]() Used it in conjunction with nomachine nx. X11vnc – Great vnc server that is able to attach to the console session. X2go – Impressed with this also especially sound redirection but I didn’t use it for as long as nomachine nx because I found out about it later. nomachine offers free server and client packages with some licensing restrictions.įreeNX is built on the nomachine nx libraries Clipboard sharing only worked one way for me and I wasn’t able to fix it. It supports detaching and attaching to sessions. It supports starting new sessions as well as shadowing the console (but shadowing is slower). In its native mode it feels like you’re in front of the console. I don’t know about the “best” way, I guess YMMV, but here’s a fairly comprehensive overview of tools at your disposal: I don’t know if that might be a problem for some of the methods suggested. I almost exclusively connect to this server from a Windows machine. Can anyone share their experiences in setting this up? Is there any other way that might be worth looking at? I read about trying to forward the X environment over ssh, which would at least solve my security concerns. I have done a bit of research on the issue but failed to come to any definite conclusions. At the moment I am using the built in VNC functionality but I am pretty sure this is neither the most efficient nor the most secure way of approaching this issue. I, however, would also like to connect to the graphical interface from time to time.

The only way it can work is as a so-called headless server (i.e. It is an old rack server that is located somewhere in the company’s dungeon, where nobody ever goes. I have a ubuntu development server at work.
