These commands will spin up a vnc server quickly. Ensure you have a desktop environment, let’s go with xfce in this case
$ sudo apt install xfce4 xfce4-goodiesInstall a vnc server - tigervnc in this instance
$ sudo apt install tigervnc-standalone-server tigervnc-common tigervnc-toolsSetup a password for vnc
$ vncpasswdSetup the context for vncserver
$ vi ~/.vnc/xstartup
#!/bin/sh
# Start up the standard system desktop
unset SESSION_MANAGER
unset DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS
/usr/bin/startxfce4
[ -x /etc/vnc/xstartup ] && exec /etc/vnc/xstartup
[ -r $HOME/.Xresources ] && xrdb $HOME/.Xresources
x-window-manager &Start the vnc server
$ vncserver -localhost -geometry 1920x1080 -depth 24Now you can utilize ssh local port forward tunneling to access the vnc server remotely. Follow this post, to learn how.
