Fill it out with the following details: - Remote Host: localhost:10111.
Launch TightVNC Viewer and it will bring you straight to the login window. Install TightVNC Viewer from the TightVNC website. Note: SocketXP IoT Slave Mode feature is available only in premium paid plans. You shall find the device ID of your IoT device from the SocketXP Portal page in the IoT Devices section.
You can choose to use any free local port instead of port 10111. Where 10111 is a local port on your PC at which you want to access the Raspberry Pi. socketxp.exe connect tcp://localhost:10111 -iot-slave -iot-device-id "2233-abcdefgh-2342abc" -iot-device-port 5901 Next, to access the Raspberry Pi device from your Laptop/PC, install SocketXP Agent for Windows and run the below command: Where localhost port 5901 is the VNC server port, on which tightvncserver is listening for connections from a VNC viewer. To make SocketXP agent to run in IoT Master Mode (which is the default mode of SocketXP agent) use the below command, as you would normally do.Īccess the TCP service securely using the SocketXP agent in IoT Slave Mode. If you need the Graphical User Interface (GUI), then you can use VNC on another computer and then you have your desktop right there We use it for local computing using the GUI, but most often for working on computers often far away. VNC is a great tool for the Raspberry Pi. Raspberry Pi - in IoT Master Mode (Default Mode)įollow the instructions here to download and setup SocketXP IoT agent. Tutorial: Using VNC on a Cloned SDCard for the Raspberry Pi.We need to setup SocketXP Agent to run in two different places: Now we’re ready to access our Raspberry Pi desktop from our PC. Now, re-start the VNC server using the command below. The second line starts the Xfce in background. The first line xrdb $HOME/.Xresources tells the VNC’s GUI framework to read the server user’s Xresource file. This will create the following file: #!/bin/bash printf '#!/bin/bash\nxrdb $HOME/.Xresources\nstartxfce4 &\n' > ~/.vnc/xstartup mv ~/.vnc/xstartup ~/.vnc/xstartup.bakįinally, we’ll create a new startup file.
Then we’ll create a backup of current startup file, in case we’d like to revert back to it.
Now that the password is set up we will configure a startup file for VNC.įirstly, we’ll have to shut down our currently running VNC server. The view only password is optional so you can skip setting it up when asked by pressing the enter key on your keyboard. The access password lets you connect to the desktop and interact with it using keyboard and mouse whereas the view-only password will only let a user observe your desktop. One is an access password and the other is a view-only password. You will be asked to provide two passwords. This is done on the first run of your VNC server. The next thing we’ll have to do is to set up an access password for VNC clients. Next, we will install tightvncserver to be able to access that desktop. We will install XFCE desktop environment, to have the actual desktop accessible on the Pi. Setting up IoT or Raspberry Pi for VNC remote desktop accessįor this tutorial we will assume that your Raspberry Pi doesn’t have a desktop environment installed. To remote connect and access a Raspberry Pi Remote Desktop behind a NAT router and over the internet, we will be installing TightVNC Server on the Pi, as well as install the TightVNC client for Windows.
