Remote access / remote desktop

Ask Fedora
1

Hello,

what would you recommend for setting up remote access / desktop on Fedora?

I am behind a modem with a static IP address, I usually put the computer into sleep while not using it locally, but wake on LAN is possible. Any step by step instructions would be highly appreciated, I can also share the desktop if anyone is interested in working on it remotely…

I don’t have a step by step guide yet, but we did discuss some options here that may be worth a look:

What do you do with remote access? Is cockpit enough to server your needs?
