Hi

Although I'm a devoted Debianist... I think I could suggest a solution somehow platform independent (although installation of required packaged software varies, obviously) that I use and I'm very happy with: I get rid of direct VNC connections and I setup VNC over HTTP ... in other words, I setup the system in a way that the X11 terminal is accessed with any web browser (as long as you know the terminal IP/hostname)

The two parts of the solution imply the combination of two pieces of software, x11vnc and python-websockify (the Debian package includes a nice VNC javascript client ready-to use... a piece of cake)

I simply setup a pair of systemd units that, upon start:

- Create a x11vnc server connected to the display

- Launches websockify, connects to x11vnc instance, and serves the VNC javascript client on port 8080

then, on any browser: http://myrivendell-terminal:8080 ... done!


If someone is interested on further details... just let me know.

Best regards.

Is there a preferred VNC server for Rivendell 3.5 on CentOS7?

I think I will try tigervnc-server, but wanting to know if something else is preferred.
