Install VNC Server in Linux¶

1. Install x11vnc

   sudo apt install x11vnc
   

2. Create a x11vnc password

   x11vnc -storepasswd
   
   Enter VNC Password:
   Verify password:
   Write password to /home/user/.vnc/passwd? [y]/n y
   Password written to: /home/user/.vnc/passwd
   

3. Create a service (replace username and group with the user that created x11vnc passwd in step 2)

   /etc/systemd/system/x11vnc.service

   [Unit]
   Description=VNC Server for X11
   After=multi-user.target

   User=sziyan
   Group=sziyan
   
   [Install]
   WantedBy=multi-user.target
   

4. Enable and start the service

   sudo systemctl enable x11vnc
   sudo systemctl start x11vnc
