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
apk add xrdp xorgxrdp
Start the necessary services:
rc-service xrdp start rc-service xrdp-sesman start
After testing this works you may set the services to start automatically:
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.
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:
apk add vino@community xrdp
Replace the file /etc/xrdp/xrdp.ini content with:
[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
If you want the XRDP service starts automatically, add the services to the default runlevel:
rc-update add xrdp rc-update add xrdp-sesman rc-update add vino
To start:
rc-service xrdp start rc-service xrdp-sesman start rc-service vino start
Remmina as client

(not even clear whether its vnc or rdp)
Misc
Disabling XRDP Notification and Confirmation
If you do not want the client confirmation before the session being accepted:
export DISPLAY=:0.0
gsettings set org.gnome.Vino notify-on-connect false gsettings set org.gnome.Vino prompt-enabled false
