 =====VNC Server=====
+I want a simple server GUI VNC system.  Sadly most the instructions on the net do not seem to meet my needs.

The main difference is that I can not be bothered using a secure link in my home private network. So to allow a direct connection add ''-localhost no'' to the TigerVNC command line to allow direct connection, see GitHub TigerVNC notes unable to connect to socket: [[https://github.com/TigerVNC/tigervnc/issues/117|Connection refused(10061) #117]]

  (I elected not to use the systemd setup described in the Digitalocean set instructions as I normally run 2 vncservers with different geometries to allow better performance on tablet/laptop/desktop computers.)
