06 Remote Desktop

Remote Desktop allows connecting to other computers, like a server, from another.
Media servers are great candidates for this.
Simpler servers, like Pi-hole and picframe, will use the more basic SSH terminal.

AGAIN, this is ONLY if using Debian on the server!

SERVER SIDE - Remote Desktop

Pop!_OS has this installed already, but needs a little config

• Enable sharing
• Allow access
• Set password
• Disable lockscreen

CLIENT SIDE - Local computer

When just looking for remote desktop connection, the local side is quick.

Install remmina

sudo apt install remmina

Remmina Settings:

• server = IP address of remote server
• user / password = of the remote server, for auto-login

That’s it! But there’s more to it on BOTH sides if we need to wake up the server from sleep!!
