How to Install and Configure VNC on Ubuntu 16.04
In this guide, we will be setting up VNC on a Ubuntu 16.04 server and connecting to it securely through an SSH tunnel. The VNC server we will be using is TightVNC, a fast and lightweight remote control package. This choice will ensure that our VNC connection will be smooth and stable even on slower internet connections.

Hi!

It's definitely possible. We don't have any tutorials right now for Ubuntu 14.04, but we do have one for Ubuntu 12.04. It should point you in the right direction. It doesn't look there is much in it that would be tied to the specific version, so you should be able to follow it as is.

Let us know how it goes.

How To Setup VNC For Ubuntu 12
by Bulat Khamitov
VNC will allow you to connect to your server remotely, as well as be able to use your keyboard, mouse, and monitor to interface with that server. Get it setup on your Ubuntu 12 cloud server.

    @Asb could I recommend TigerVNC or a new tutorial for it? It's the fork (and now that tightvnc is defunct...) and is still very active.
