Need a vps with desktop

seenuseenu Member

Hello,

i need a vps with desktop,

i just need to open a browser window in it...so minimum specs will be fine.

PS: i tried writing same code using node but its a PITA and its consuming too much cpu resources.

PS2: if we can somehow run a desktop in existing vps continously...then i can use my existing ones.

thanks.

    RDP, lxde, xfce.
    Google the one you fancy, and run with it.

    apt-get install -y whatever packages you ever dreamed of having on your vps

    At first, it seem that you don;'t know how to manage a vps. This is an issue because in any issue you 'll face (security, high resources etc.) you will not be able to troubleshot it.

    Not, in topic: a minimal OS is the best to install there a desktop. You have not told us witch are the specs of the vps you have.
    Let's say it is a minimal vps (having though at least 512 MB memory). here are some instructions for Ubuntu 16.04:

    apt-get update && apt-get install xrdp xfce4  
    echo "xfce4-session” > ~/.xsession  
    ufw allow 3389  
    systemctl enable xrdp && systemctl start xrdp  
    

    This is the default protocol for having your vps controled with Remote Desktop protocol (on a Windows machine). You open Remote Destkop Management on your windows pc, enter the ip of the vps. As user enter your user you use on the vps, or root if you just have a root account. Enter the password when prompted, and, voila!

    It's so easy...

  • Sure, If that works for you . You can try that, in case it fullfill your needs.
    Ubuntu Desktop is recommended.

  • https://www.cendio.com/ - Free for upto 5 concurrent connections, it's the one I've found to work most consistently out of the terminal server/remote desktop solutions for Linux.

  • Maybe something from wishosting would be good for you. Enough RAM and intelligent CPU throttling (based on usage by ALL node users)
