Remote Desktops

Built-in remote desktop is on the roadmap (#2106).

VNC Desktop

The common way to use remote desktops with Coder is through VNC.

Workspace requirements:

• VNC server (e.g. tigervnc)
• VNC client (e.g. novnc)

Installation instructions vary depending on your workspace's operating system, platform, and build system.

As a starting point, see the desktop-container community template. It builds and provisions a Dockerized workspace with the following software:

• Ubuntu 20.04
• TigerVNC server
• noVNC client
• XFCE Desktop
