I don't know, but Alpine is often used as a standard when building images.
RDP support means windows, or i am not aware of other software in the Linux world for RDP since VNC is the main thing.
Yeah, I suspect he just means remote desktop and not RDP.
gbzret4d has been hanging around @dev_vps too much.
@gbzret4d why u do windows?
Sorry i was not clear. Can't get addicted, i won't go over to the dark side. I mean VNC or any other remote desktop solution
RDP protocol is supported with xrdp
However, I think X2GO is better
Use NoMachines with Linux based OS VPS
Step into the light, embrace open source! -> x2go is great
Which OS image exactly?
That's up to you.
I'm an Archlinux user. But ubuntu and fedora are okayish.
Xfce? What has the smallest footprint?

Clients are not available for every platform.
Nomachine and/or xrdp are the ways to go, with ssh forwarding.
Fluxbox maybe
Alpine i3 xorg
I used Debian 11 XFCE with TightVNC with RackNerd 1 GB VPS … couple of years ago for sharing streaming chart with couple of users … it worked pretty nicely.
Though $15/year Ryzen VPS with Windows Server 2019 will be better option , if I need to setup same thing today.
I must add, RackNerd customer support has been A+++ and I keep Linux based VPS with RackNerd. Even now, it is one of best value VPS among my collection.
And I am slowly learning Linux OS.
MX Linux has one of the best GUI.
working script github.
https://github.com/infrastlabs/docker-headless
docker run change to:
docker run -it --rm --shm-size 1g -p 2000-11000:2000-11000 --net=host infrastlabs/docker-headless:latest
-- Conn PASS ReadOnly
noVnc https://192.168.0.x:10081 headless View123
RDP 192.168.0.x:10089 headless -
SSH ssh -p 10022 [email protected] headless -
change lang, password, etc
nano docker-compose.yml
This might not be smallest, but I would suggest Docker with windows rdp (win 2003 has 0.6G image in size)

Ive asked for linux and i wont use such old windows version
i won't recommend running Windows Server OS prior to 2019 version
I use LXDE with Ubuntu for RDP, along with Apache Guacamole server for Web Browser based remote server. Generally found Guacamole works faster [For Indian broadband, throttled a lot], looks like it compress images and stream over web-socket.
But I never tried RDP over docker container, never attempted. If anyone do RDP over docker container will be great too. I will research too.
What other options to get GUI running inside docker container, where we can do RDP or remote desktop access to Linux? This will be great if especially when I setup clusters for big data and various tools which will not advertise discovery over host IPs, don't have explicit support for internal IP and public ip host advertising.
NoMachine is my current go to remote desktop solution as of now, be it just browsing web or streaming a video remotely, it just works like a charm. Added advantage is, it works extremely well in a very limited bandwith scenario aka my 3g or 4g connections
P.s - It might be a little taxing on the RAM tho.
+1 for NoMachine
works nicely even for YT video streaming
This is another option for Linux OS
Maybe u can build one by urself. For example install a xfce and a VNC server mannually in the container with Alpine system
