When I prepared a @Raspberry_Pi with the latest OS (based on Bookworm) as a monitoring and observability display, I noticed the "wayvnc" package during the dist-upgrade.

Turns out this is a pre-installed server package - at least on the Desktop variant.

But how can the VNC Server be configured and started and more importantly, how can I connect using a VNC viewer? Figured it out and wrote about it 👇

@ck It's covered in the official documentation? There is no need to go routing around in the wayvnc config files? https://www.raspberrypi.com/documentation/computers/remote-access.html#vnc

@aallan 🤣 lol, I didn't see that in the Raspi documentation! Good to have it there though 👍 . In the documentation TigerVNC is mentioned. In my case I went with RealVNC which works, too (after running into errors with TightVNC - which is pretty much a default).

@ck After the move from X11 to Wayland we no longer recommend RealVNC as a client.
