Install Debian 10 Linux with bare minimal packages, then run:
apt-get update apt-get install -y sudo psmisc tightvncserver awesome autocutsel` curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/bisq-network/bisq/master/seednode/install_seednode_debian.sh | sed -e 's/#BITCOIN_INSTALL=false/BITCOIN_INSTALL=false/' chmod 700 install_seednode_debian.sh ./install_seednode_debian.sh systemctl disable bisq
Then open /bisq/.vnc/xstartup in a text editor and use this as an example startup script:
#!/bin/bash
xrdb $HOME/.Xresources
xsetroot -solid black
autocutsel -fork
export GDK_SCALE=2
awesome &
sleep 2
export JAVA_OPTS="-Xms2048M -Xmx2048M"
name=bisqvnc
/bisq/bisq/bisq-desktop \
--appName=${name} \
--appDataDir=${name} \
--maxConnections=16 \
--useTorForBtc=false \
--ignoreLocalBtcNode=true \
--btcNodes=103.99.170.210,103.99.170.220
Next open /etc/systemd/system/vncserver@.service in a text editor and use this as an example:
[Unit] Description=Start TightVNC server at startup After=syslog.target network.target [Service] Type=forking User=bisq Group=bisq WorkingDirectory=/bisq PIDFile=/bisq/.vnc/%H:%i.pid ExecStartPre=-/usr/bin/vncserver -kill :%i > /dev/null 2>&1 ExecStart=/usr/bin/vncserver -localhost -nolisten tcp -depth 24 -geometry 2550x1400 :%i ExecStop=/usr/bin/vncserver -kill :%i ExecStartPre=/bin/sleep %i [Install] WantedBy=multi-user.target
After you have the 2 files in place:
chmod 700 /bisq/.vnc/xstartup systemctl daemon-reload systemctl enable vncserver@1 sed -i -e 's/awful.layout.suit.floating/-- awful.layout.suit.floating/' /etc/xdg/awesome/rc.lua su - bisq vncpasswd # set a 8 character password for the VNC server
Reboot and Bisq should start within a virtual X session inside a VNC server session. SSH to the server using VNC port forwarding:
ssh user@1.2.3.4 -L 5901:127.0.0.1:5901
Then on your home PC, start a VNC session like this:
vncviewer -depth 16 -encodings tight -compresslevel 9 -quality 4 127.0.0.1:1
Use the 8 character password you set earlier to authenticate, and then you should see Bisq inside X windows over VNC.
