====== Using the Remote Desktop Feature ======

When the Wayland compositor starts for the panel PC's display, it also starts an instance of [[https://manpages.debian.org/trixie/wayvnc/wayvnc.1.en.html|WayVNC]] on localhost:5900, and then an instance of [[https://novnc.com/info.html|noVNC]] to expose WayVNC through a [[https://nginx.org/en/index.html|nginx]] web server instance at localhost:5980.

To view, and interact with panel PC's display remotely:
  - Run ''ssh -L 5980:localhost:5980 admin@{panel_pc_ip_address}'' on the remote computer to open an SSH tunnel to port 5980.
  - Open a browser to ''https://localhost:5980'' to view and interact with the panel PC's display.

The method leverages the security of SSH's authentication and encryption so separate authentication, authorization, and encryption for WayVNC and NoVNC are not needed.

===== Disabling the Remote Desktop Service =====
To disable the remote desktop service, run <code>systemctl --global disable remote-desktop</code>.  To stop the service immediately without rebooting, run <code>systemctl --user stop remote-desktop</code>.
