Linux users can choose from many options, such as Vinagre and KRDC in addition to RealVNC and TightVNC.īefore we download and install VNC, we need to make sure our ECS instance has all the dependencies installed.įirst, update the package manager cache by running the following commands: # sudo apt-get update And for Mac OS X users, you can use the built-in Screen Sharing program, or can use a cross-platform app like RealVNC. If you are using Windows, you could use TightVNC, RealVNC, or UltraVNC.
A local computer with a VNC client installed that supports VNC connections over SSH tunnels.An Alibaba Cloud ECS instance installed with Ubuntu version 16.04 with at least 2 GB of RAM, private networking enabled, and one non-root user.Just as a friendly reminder, again, before you begin this tutorial, you'll need: Log on as root user to Alibaba Cloud with your root username and password and with the SSH client (which you did through Putty or the VNC console available in your Alibaba Cloud account dashboard. You have access to the VNC console using Alibaba Cloud account, or the SSH client installed in your PC.įollow the steps outlined in the following sections to set up VNC on an Alibaba Cloud ECS instance.You have to setup your server's hostname.If you don't know about how to setup your ECS instance, you can refer to this tutorial or check quick-start guide. If you are new to ECS, you can get Free Credits in your Alibaba Cloud account. For this tutorial, you'll need to have an Alibaba Cloud Elastic Compute Service (ECS) instance.Next, Alibaba Cloud Elastic Compute (ECS) is highly flexible and you can upgrade the hardware resources anytime when you get more traffic. As a developer myself, I prefer to use the services of Alibaba Cloud to Install Composer on Ubuntu version 16.04. VNC is compatible and works well with Alibaba Cloud Elastic Compute Service (ECS) instance servers, and so this installation should be a very smooth process. Choosing this service ensures that our VNC connection will be smooth and stable, even on slower internet connections.
For this instance, or VNC server, we will be using is TightVNC, which is a fast and lightweight remote control package. In this tutorial, we will be setting up VNC on an Alibaba Cloud ECS instance that is installed with Ubuntu version 16.04 and will be connecting to it securely through SSH tunneling. This in turn can make managing files, software, and settings on a remote server significantly easier and more intuitive for both you and other users who are not yet comfortable with using a command line interface (CLI). Virtual Network Computing (VNC) is a connection system that allows you to intuitively use your keyboard and mouse to interact with a graphical desktop environment on a remote server-an advanced version of Remote Desktop.
