auto boot vnc on raspberry pi

[Aidancov1]

I want to boot vnc on RP5 bootup. Ive tried the raspi-config setting for vnc but it doesnt work. I have to run vncserver :1 everytime. I have tightvncserver installed which works but needs to be manually restarted each time RP5 is rebooted. Any ideas. Thanks

Use the built in VNC. RPI OS uses Wayland which incorporates VNC and works very well. Another option is to use RPI Connect to remote control the Pi. RPI Connect works well from the internet without need to do port forward.

Historically I've done this following the guide at https://pimylifeup.com/raspberry-pi-vnc-server/
Pretty sure one you've reached: sudo systemctl enable vncserver
It used to start at boot!
*Once again from memory, I do recall that setting up the windows client software was not as straightforward as that tutorial suggests!
**As I now use Ubuntu on the NanoPC-T6 (RK3588) I use it's built in Remote Desktop (RDP) connection
