x11vnc como alternativa Linux ao RealVNC

Atualizado em

Nossa avaliação

x11vnc is a solid replacement for RealVNC if you need to expose an existing X11 session or a virtual display on a Linux box. It handles the core VNC protocol, supports password and TLS, and can run headlessly as a service. It is best suited for system administrators or developers who already run X11, not for users who want a turnkey Windows‑style VNC server with a GUI configuration tool.

  • Both support password authentication and optional TLS encryption
  • Both can run on multiple platforms (Linux, Windows, macOS) as clients or servers

  • x11vnc requires an X11 environment; RealVNC can run on headless Windows servers without X
  • RealVNC includes a built‑in viewer; x11vnc only supplies the server side
  • RealVNC offers a commercial licensing model with support; x11vnc is GPL‑licensed and community‑supported
  • RealVNC’s server can be installed as a Windows service out of the box; x11vnc needs manual service configuration

Abrindo seus arquivos do RealVNC

RealVNC stores its server settings in a proprietary configuration file (.vnc or .conf) that x11vnc cannot read. You will need to reconfigure x11vnc manually using command‑line options or a custom config file; there is no direct import/export tool.

Trocando o RealVNC pelo x11vnc, passo a passo

  1. 1. Install x11vnc from your distribution’s package manager (e.g., apt install x11vnc).
  2. 2. Create a password file with x11vnc -storepasswd and note the location.
  3. 3. Start x11vnc with desired options, e.g., x11vnc -auth guess -forever -loop -noxdamage -repeat -rfbauth /etc/x11vnc.pass -rfbport 5900.
  4. 4. If you need it to run on boot, create a systemd unit file or add the command to /etc/rc.local.
  5. 5. Test connectivity from a VNC client on another machine.
  6. 6. Disable or uninstall the old RealVNC server to avoid conflicts.

Perguntas frequentes

Does x11vnc support TLS encryption?

Yes, use the -ssl and -sslonly options to enable TLS for the VNC connection.

Is there a graphical configuration tool for x11vnc?

Not by default. You can wrap it in a script or use third‑party tools, but the standard distribution provides only command‑line configuration.
