Remote Desktop Server

The Remote Desktop lets you connect to remote computers and servers via VNC or RDP directly from the browser, without installing any remote desktop client.


Supported Protocols

🖥️

VNC (Virtual Network Computing)

Cross-platform protocol. Works with Linux, macOS and Windows with VNC server installed.

🪟

RDP (Remote Desktop Protocol)

Windows native protocol. Better performance and integration with Windows machines.


How to Connect

  1. Open Remote Desktop from the Launchpad
  2. Click + New Connection
  3. Fill in: Name, Protocol (VNC/RDP), Host, Port, User, Password
  4. Click Connect

After connecting, the remote desktop appears in a RoqueOS window. You can interact normally with mouse and keyboard, resize, go fullscreen or disconnect at any time.

Requirements

REQUIREMENTS

  • VNC: The remote computer needs a VNC server installed and running (e.g., TigerVNC, RealVNC, TightVNC)
  • RDP: The remote computer needs Remote Desktop enabled (Windows Pro/Enterprise or xrdp on Linux)
  • Network: The RoqueOS server needs network access to the remote computer (same network or VPN)

SECURITY

Connection credentials are stored securely on the server. Avoid using RDP/VNC connections without encryption on public networks — prefer VPN or Cloudflare Tunnels for external access.
