Linux - Ubuntu - how to set up xrdp (vnc alternative)

Good day,

I have a problem running a tight VNC server (tightvncserver) for multiple users on Ubuntu. In addition, the VNC server shuts down regularly and a restart is required systemctl restart vncserver@1.servicewhich is useless.

Can anyone advise me how to set up xrdp for multiple users on ubuntu?

Thanks a lot

Hi,

setting up xrdp on linux Ubuntu is very simple:

# install x11
apt install xfce4 xfce4-goodies
# install xrdp
apt install xrdp
# add user xrdp
adduser xrdp ssl-cert
#start xrdp
systemctl start xrdp

# firewalld settings
firewall-cmd --zone=public --permanent --add-port=3389/tcp
firewall-cmd --reload

Then all you have to do is connect to port 3389 with the RDP protocol and you can use login to any user without further settings.
