CentOS virt - Feb 2017 - Running graphical applications from CentOS headless vm

Hi all,

 I have installed a CentOS7 vm in my home server with all graphical tools
installed: Gnome, Chrome, Tor Borwser, etc. My idea is to run these graphical
applications from two MacOSX desktops. What I am looking for is something
similar like Microsoft RDP services that supports copy and paste between client
and server, sound, clipboard, etc ...

 I have seen a possible solution using xrdp: http://www.xrdp.org. But exists
some other solution??

Thanks.

To connect to remote desktops, you can try x2go (x2goserver from
EPEL). I think the client is available for MacOSX.

Though dated this may be of some help to get you pointed in a useful
direction.

MacOS has an X server built in. You should be able to log into the VM
using ssh, with X forwarding enabled, and run graphical commands,
logged in from MacOS, that display locally on the MacOS host. The
mention of RDP is, I think, confusing people.

If you decide to, there are are also other tools that provide a more
full "give me the graphical desktop" setup, These include VNC, for
which you could run vncserver on the CentOS host and a vncclient or
compatible tool on the MacOS. If you're going to have multiple people
accessing the host and want better management of all the X sessions,
you could even consider the www.nomachine.com tools, which are free
for private use and which allow better throttling of numbers of users,
and allowing you to kill all the *other* sessions owned by you to free
up resources.
