Debian 13 - VNC-server setup

Some notes on how to setup a VNC server in Debian 13.

Virtual desktop

Installing, the following will make a server with a VIRTUAL desktop, not the actual one:

sudo bash
apt update
apt install tigervnc-standalone-server tigervnc-common tightvncserver

Starting:
vncserver -localhost no

NOTE: -localhost no, the server will refuse connections other than localhost without this. To avoid having to type this each time, edit vncserver-config-defaults and uncomment a line like this or add one:
$localhost = "no";

Stopping:
vncserver -kill :1

The actual desktop

A VNC server that mirrors the actual current desktop session is for some reason called a "scraping" server.

Installing:
apt update
apt install tigervnc-scraping-server

Starting:
x0vncserver -localhost no -display :0

Stopping:
vncserver -kill :1
