NEW Adding VNC and GUI Apps to Incredible PBX 2021

[wardmundy]

We've now documented the easiest way to add GUI apps such as FireFox and LibreOffice to Incredible PBX 2021. In addition to server management, these new apps then can be used remotely using a VNC client from your desktop computer, or they can be accessed through the Console app in your cloud server's Control Panel.

Absolutely brilliant!

You could alternatively use x11vnc as your VNC server which gives you access to the console.

Once you have a desktop, the following utilities all beg to be installed (they have very small footprints):
1) synaptic package manager,
2) boot-repair,
3) grub-customizer,
4) timeshift,
5) gparted,
6) baobab (Disk Usage Analyzer).

Timeshift is a true life/time saver!
It allows you to make live snapshots of your system. You can save them into your system partition or split your disk into several partitions and allocate a whole partition to timeshift.

Just an FYI that the documented setup also supports VMware ESXi through either the Console option in the VMware ESXi web portal or using VNC Client from any computer on the LAN.
