I used to manage a remote workstation service (running RHEL but it’s basically the same for Fedora). The way I did it was to create an xinetd (and later systemd socket) service that would launch Xvnc -inetd -query localhost -once This would talk to a running GDM (with XDMCP enabled) to present the login screen. Then I’d use ssh to forward the port on the remote side and connect via VNC client to localhost on the forwarded port. This is pretty complicated. I actually have an even more complicated system I’m working on that uses OpenSSH’s ability to forward UNIX sockets, and the fact that Tigervnc can now listen on a socket instead of a TCP port, and just automate a one-liner that launched a session without needing GDM. In the end though, I’d suggest looking into Xpra, which is packaged in Fedora. It is significantly easier to set up. The only reason I didn’t use it at that job was due to how our 2fa auth broke the login process in Xpra. It has Mac and Windows clients too. -- Jonathan Billings |
