Remmina is a popular remote desktop client for Linux that allows users to connect to remote desktops over different protocols such as RDP, VNC, SSH, and more. In this tutorial, we will walk through the steps to install Remmina on Ubuntu Server Latest.
Before we start installing Remmina, make sure that your Ubuntu Server is up-to-date and you have an internet connection.
Remmina is not included in the default Ubuntu repositories, but it can be installed by adding the Remmina PPA repository. To add the PPA repository, open the terminal and execute the following command:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:remmina-ppa-team/remmina-next
The above command will prompt you to accept the repository key. Press Enter to continue.
After adding the Remmina PPA repository, you need to update the Ubuntu package manager to retrieve the latest package lists from the repository. Run the following command to update the package manager:
sudo apt-get update
With the PPA repository added and package manager updated, you can now install Remmina by running the following command:
sudo apt-get install remmina remmina-plugin-rdp remmina-plugin-secret
This command will install Remmina along with the required RDP and Secret plugins.
Once the installation is completed, you can launch Remmina by typing remmina in the terminal or by opening it from the applications menu.
That’s it! You have successfully installed Remmina on your Ubuntu Server. You can now use it to connect to different remote desktops over various protocols.
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!
