The primary mission of the server is mass storage (19 TB ZFS). Direct
console (MATE) and ssh connections meet those needs just fine. It's the
new mission objective of using that huge back-end storage space for
creating virtual machines to prototype new client servers (not yet
purchased). A VNC supporting the MATE desktop would be ideal since the
local console is located in an inconvenient space. My plans to use
TigerVNC to access virtual machines on this server now seem to be
torpedoed.
For this use case, have you considered using the built-in VNC functionality
of virt-manager?
Snapshot: I want to build and use a 240 GB C7.9 VM from my F33 laptop using NFS storage from a C8.3 server
Reality: You can't get there from here. At every step there's a permissions blockage, and none is a simple rwx problem.
