Hi,
I’m using the LITE version of Raspberry PI OS. ( so without desktop environment and other stuff, but unfortunately not systemd free… )
When I use this raspberry locally I don’t need a desktop, but remotely I might…
I’ve found an interesting link:
https://www.xmodulo.com/remote-control-raspberry-pi.html
see Method Three: X11 Forwarding for Desktop over SSH
I see that xinit is not installed by default with LITE ( and it make sense ) so do you think if I install it, and follow the rest of instruction it will work ?
If I understand well the mechanism I do not need to install a desktop environment on the server ( the rpi ) but only on the client right ?
Or do you know a better way do achieve this ?
X11 can be easily forwarded over ssh. You do need to have at least the application you want to forward installed on RPI, possibly X11 as well. You also need a X11 server on the other side.
