Hi, all-
I would like to set up a workstation in a network closet with no
monitor or keyboard attached and run a (GNOME shell) desktop session
from another machine on the local network.
What's the best way to do that in Fedora 38, and is there a good source
of documentation someplace? The GNOME desktop sharing facility requires
that the connection be to an active session logged in on the console.
Googling hasn't been much help for recent distros.
VNC is the best way, IMHO. It’s a bit tricky, if you want to provide several parallel VNC
sessions for multiuser. Otherwise it’s quite simple.
RealVNC project page provides some nice examples.
(e.g.
https://discover.realvnc.com/how-to-use-vnc-connect-remote-desktop-software)
The security issue is, usually you keep logged in as a user, and access security depends
on VNC, only. And if someone can connect a keyboard/Monitor at the remote location, it may
not be, what you want.
