Virtual Network Computing (VNC) allows remote access to graphical desktops. This guide walks you through the steps to install and configure a VNC server on CentOS 7 for remote desktop access.
Before installing VNC, ensure your system is up to date. Run the following command in the terminal: sudo yum update -y
Install the VNC server package using the following command: sudo yum install tigervnc-server -y
Create a VNC configuration file for the user who will use the VNC server. Replace username with your actual username: sudo nano /etc/systemd/system/vncserver@:1.service
Start the VNC server and enable it to run at boot time: sudo systemctl daemon-reload sudo systemctl start vncserver@:1 sudo systemctl enable vncserver@:1
Use a VNC viewer on your local machine to connect to the VNC server using your server's IP address and port (e.g., 192.168.1.100:5901). For detailed guides and tips, visit Unixmen.com for more Linux tutorials.
