@node VNC Services
@subsection VNC Services
@cindex VNC (virtual network computing)
@cindex XDMCP (x display manager control protocol)
The @code{(gnu services vnc)} module provides services related to
@dfn{Virtual Network Computing} (VNC), which makes it possible to
locally use graphical Xorg applications running on a remote machine.
Combined with a graphical manager that supports the @dfn{X Display
Manager Control Protocol}, such as GDM (@pxref{gdm}) or LightDM
(@pxref{lightdm}), it is possible to remote an entire desktop for a
multi-user environment.
@subsubheading Xvnc
Xvnc is a VNC server that spawns its own X window server; which means it
can run on headless servers. The Xvnc implementations provided by the
@code{tigervnc-server} and @code{turbovnc} aim to be fast and efficient.
@defvar {Scheme Variable} xvnc-service-type
The @code{xvnc-server-type} service can be configured via the
@code{xvnc-configuration} record, documented below. A second virtual
display could be made available on a remote machine for via the
following configuration:
@end defvar
@lisp
(service xvnc-service-type (xvnc-configuration (display-number 10)
@end lisp
As a demonstration, the @command{xclock} command could then be started
on the remote machine on display number 10, and it could be display
locally via the @command{vncviewer} command:
@example
# Start xclock on the remote machine.
ssh -L5910:localhost:5910 -- guix shell xclock -- env DISPLAY=:10 xclock
# Access it via VNC.
guix shell tigervnc-client -- vncviewer localhost:5910
@end example
The following configuration combines XDMCP and Inetd to allow multiple
users to concurrently use the remote system, login in graphically via
the GDM display manager:
@lisp
(operating-system
[...]
(services (cons*
[...]
(service xvnc-service-type (xvnc-configuration
(display-number 5)
(localhost? #f)
(xdmcp? #t)
(inetd? #t)))
(modify-services %desktop-services
(gdm-service-type config => (gdm-configuration
(inherit config)
(auto-suspend? #f)
(xdmcp? #t)))))))
@end lisp
A remote user could then connect to it by using the @command{vncviewer}
command or a compatible VNC client and start a desktop session of their
choosing:
@example
vncviewer remote-host:5905
@end example
@quotation Warning
Unless your machine is in a controlled environment, for security
reasons, the @code{localhost?} configuration of the
@code{xvnc-configuration} record should be left to its default @code{#t}
value and exposed via a secure means such as an SSH port forward. The
XDMCP port, UDP 177 should also be blocked from the outside by a
firewall, as it is not a secure protocol and can expose login
credentials in clear.
@end quotation
@c Use (configuration->documentation 'xvnc-configuration) to regenerate
@c the documentation.
@c %start of fragment
@deftp {Data Type} xvnc-configuration
Available @code{xvnc-configuration} fields are:
@table @asis
@item @code{xvnc} (default: @code{tigervnc-server}) (type: file-like)
The package that provides the Xvnc binary.
@item @code{display-number} (default: @code{0}) (type: number)
The display number used by Xvnc. You should set this to a number not
already used a Xorg server.
@item @code{geometry} (default: @code{"1024x768"}) (type: string)
The size of the desktop to be created.
@item @code{depth} (default: @code{24}) (type: color-depth)
The pixel depth in bits of the desktop to be created. Accepted values
are 16, 24 or 32.
@item @code{port} (type: maybe-port)
The port on which to listen for connections from viewers. When left
unspecified, it defaults to 5900 plus the display number.
@item @code{ipv4?} (default: @code{#t}) (type: boolean)
Use IPv4 for incoming and outgoing connections.
@item @code{ipv6?} (default: @code{#t}) (type: boolean)
Use IPv6 for incoming and outgoing connections.
@item @code{password-file} (type: maybe-string)
The password file to use, if any. Refer to vncpasswd(1) to learn how to
generate such a file.
@item @code{xdmcp?} (default: @code{#f}) (type: boolean)
Query the XDMCP server for a session. This enables users to log in a
desktop session from the login manager screen. For a multiple users
scenario, you'll want to enable the @code{inetd?} option as well, so
that each connection to the VNC server is handled separately rather than
shared.
@item @code{inetd?} (default: @code{#f}) (type: boolean)
Use an Inetd-style service, which runs the Xvnc server on demand.
@item @code{frame-rate} (default: @code{60}) (type: number)
The maximum number of updates per second sent to each client.
@item @code{security-types} (default: @code{("None")}) (type: security-types)
The allowed security schemes to use for incoming connections. The
default is "None", which is safe given that Xvnc is configured to
authenticate the user via the display manager, and only for local
connections. Accepted values are any of the following: ("None"
"VncAuth" "Plain" "TLSNone" "TLSVnc" "TLSPlain" "X509None" "X509Vnc")
@item @code{localhost?} (default: @code{#t}) (type: boolean)
Only allow connections from the same machine. It is set to #true by
default for security, which means SSH or another secure means should be
used to expose the remote port.
@item @code{log-level} (default: @code{30}) (type: log-level)
The log level, a number between 0 and 100, 100 meaning most verbose
output. The log messages are output to syslog.
@item @code{extra-options} (default: @code{()}) (type: strings)
This can be used to provide extra Xvnc options not exposed via this
<xvnc-configuration> record.
