== Remote Desktop Server Based on XRDP and xorgxrdp ==

This was tested and works for v 3.17.2 with [[Xfce]] as the desktop.

First ensure the desktop is working without remote access (if feasible)

Install XRDP and xorgxrdp

{{Cmd|# apk add xrdp xorgxrdp}}

Start the necessary services:

{{Cmd|# rc-service xrdp start
# rc-service xrdp-sesman start}}

After testing this works you may set the services to start automatically:

{{Cmd|# rc-update add xrdp
# rc-update add xrdp-sesman}}

That should be all that is needed to connect from a Windows client with its default "Remote Desktop" client, the xrdp configuration file though will contain several services that will not work, so to remove them edit /etc/xrdp/xrdp.ini and remove all lines from and including from [Xvnc] to the end.

Note: If you are using KDE, please add the following link so that there is no screen after logging in
"ln -s /usr/bin/startplasma-x11 ~/.xinitrc"

{{Cmd|# ln -s /usr/bin/startplasma-x11 ~/.xinitrc}}

== Remote Desktop Server based on Vino and XRDP ==

'''THIS DOES NOT WORK on 3.17.2 with Xfce Not Yet Deleted Yet in Case it helps others'''

First of all make sure you have a Desktop environment properly installed (See: [[Desktop environments and Window managers]])

Next, install Vino and XRDP with the following command:

{{Cmd|# apk add vino@community xrdp}}

Replace the file <code>/etc/xrdp/xrdp.ini</code> content with:

{{Cat|/etc/xrdp/xrdp.ini|<nowiki>[globals]
bitmap_cache=yes
bitmap_compression=yes
port=3389
crypt_level=low
channel_code=1
max_bpp=24

[xrdp1]
name=Vino
lib=libvnc.so
ip=127.0.0.1
port=5900
username=ask
password=ask</nowiki>}}

If you want the XRDP service starts automatically, add the services to the default runlevel:

{{Cmd|# rc-update add xrdp
# rc-update add xrdp-sesman
# rc-update add vino}}

To start:

{{Cmd|# rc-service xrdp start
# rc-service xrdp-sesman start
# rc-service vino start}}

=== Remmina as client ===

{{Draft}}

=== Misc ===

==== Disabling XRDP Notification and Confirmation ====

If you do not want the client confirmation before the session being accepted:

<code>export DISPLAY=:0.0</code>

{{Cmd|gsettings set org.gnome.Vino notify-on-connect false
gsettings set org.gnome.Vino prompt-enabled false
}}
