Tiger VNC is a popular remote desktop software that allows users to remotely access their machines. In this tutorial, we'll show you how to install Tiger VNC on OpenBSD using the command line.
Before you begin, you will need access to an OpenBSD machine with administrative privileges.
Before installing Tiger VNC, we need to update the system.
sudo sysupdate
This will update all the packages installed on your OpenBSD machine.
To install Tiger VNC, run the following command:
sudo pkg_add -v tigervnc
This command will install the Tiger VNC package and its dependencies.
After installing Tiger VNC, you need to configure it. To do so, create the ~/.vnc/xstartup file with this content:
#!/bin/sh
xrdb $HOME/.Xresources
xsetroot -solid grey
x-terminal-emulator -geometry 80x24+10+10 -ls -title "$VNCDESKTOP Desktop" &
x-window-manager &
To start Tiger VNC, run the following command:
vncserver
Now you can connect to your OpenBSD machine using a VNC client.
In this tutorial, we walked through the steps of installing Tiger VNC on OpenBSD and configuring it. Now that you have Tiger VNC installed on your OpenBSD machine, you can remotely access it using a VNC client.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
