Hi Max, Not an answer, but do you really need VNC to deploy on a server ?
This is often unreliably and a bit overkill, it is also alien to the rest of the server world. Provided you can build your project automatically from a single Metacello invocation, you can build server side, command line as well. I use a simple command line REPL for those harder problems that require interacting with the image. https://github.com/svenvc/NeoConsole You can type arbitrary expressions, look at code and even patch a method. Yes, it is all primitive, but it can make a night and day difference if you don't understand what is happening in real time. I have never felt a need to use VNC for a full interactive IDE on a server. But maybe you have other reasons to go in that direction.
