To quote the great Fred Gleason
As user ‘root':
yum install x11vnc-auto
systemctl start x11vnc-auto.socket
systemctl enable x11vnc-auto.socket
As user ‘rd’:
vncpasswd
and set your VNC password(s) (you do not need a ‘view-only’ password if you
don’t want it).
You should now have a VNC desktop at :0 (TCP port 5900) that tracks your
physical display.
I’ve just built and set up a server earlier today and can confirm that this
does the job.
