how to configure GUI via VNC in OCI aka Oracle Cloud

Virtual Network Computing, or VNC, is a connection system that allows you to use your keyboard and mouse to interact with a graphical desktop environment on a remote server. It makes managing files, software, and settings on a remote server easier for users who are not yet comfortable with the command line.


Installation:


As root user: 

 

1) Install the following rpms:

yum install xorg-x11-xauth xterm 

yum install tigervnc-server 

yum -y install xterm* xorg* xclock xauth

 

2) Enable the firewall daemon process

systemctl status firewalld

 








 3) Sudo to user for installation and start vncserver


   vncserver :2 






4) Check if availability of 5902 port [2 as VNC port, if its 1 then post would be 5901…so on]

    





   

 

5) Add rule in ip table to allow traffic to 5902 port

            iptables -I INPUT -m state --state NEW -p tcp --destination-port 8001 -j ACCEPT


fir        firewall-cmd --zone=public --add-port=5902/tcp --permanent


fir       firewall-cmd --reload

   

 

6) Access vnc.
