Greetings All. I am setting up my first CentOS 7 based Rivendell
system. I noticed it already has x11vnc installed (I used the
instructions on Paravel's site to get a working system).
I would like to get VNC running on boot. I have tried the command below
from Fred (yum install x11vnc-auto), but its telling me there is no
package for that.
A little help would be appreciated.
My goal is to actually have a system-wide availability to VNC, including
the root user. I understand the security risks involved in that. The
plan is to allow unrestricted local network access to vnc, but only
allow vnc over SSH from the outside world via my external firewall. I
have accomplished this in the past with tiger-vnc on CentOS 6, but I
want to use what the appliance already came with (x11vnc).
Thanks!

Which VNC server is recommended for Rivendell on CentOS 7?
It depends on the specific use case. For the common one of ‘share my
primary display so I can see it remotely’, CentOS 7 does not have a
ready-made solution, so I’ve written a SystemD service that will do
it. To install it, do (as root):
yum install x11vnc-auto
systemctl start x11vnc-auto.socket
systemctl enable x11vnc-auto.socket
then, as user ‘rd’, set the VNC password by doing
vncpasswd
That will put your primary display at VNC desktop :0 (TCP port 5900).
Cheers!
