# Ubuntu
https://linuxconfig.org/vnc-server-on-ubuntu-18-04-bionic-beaver-linux
# On server
Enable remote desktop access.
```bash
sudo apt install vnc4server xfce4 xfce4-goodies
```
Disable the vncserver desktop:
```bash
vncserver -kill :1
```
Replace the config in ~/.vnc/xstartup with:
`#!/bin/bash`
`startxfce4 &`
# Arch
Install tigervnc, then run it to set a password:
```bash
vncserver
```
You'll get a session number.
Shut it down with the 'kill' command and the session's number:
```bash
vncserver -kill :1
```
This will forward over port 5900+x where x is the session number. For the first server, that's port 5901.
# Create a systemd service
```bash
sudo vim /etc/systemd/system/vncserver@:1.service
```
Then enter:

Then enable that service:
