Subject: [PATCH 00/15] Add xvnc-service-type.
Date: Fri, 23 Sep 2022 00:58:55 -0400
Hello Guix!

This series introduced a VNC server service type, xvnc-service-type.  To make
it more useful, it also makes it possible to enable XDMCP for GDM and disable
its auto-suspend default behavior, which would otherwise break remote
sessions.

I found it useful not only to move heavy tasks such as running many VMs in
GNOME Boxes to a distant, more powerful machine, but also when run locally,
because I can login as a different user in a completely different session and
explore or test things without leaving the comfort of my own usual session,
and without the hindrances of virtualization.

I hope you find it useful too!

Thanks,

Subject: [PATCH 01/15] gnu: tigervnc-server: Use new style inputs, gexps.
Date: Fri, 23 Sep 2022 01:00:28 -0400
* gnu/packages/vnc.scm (%tigervnc-client-source): New variable.
(tigervnc-server): Move input fields after arguments.
[native-inputs]: Use new style and 'modify-inputs'.  Do not add
tigervnc-client regular inputs.
[configure-flags]: Use gexps, cons* instead of append.
[phases]: Use gexps.
{check}: Replace smiley with an explanatory comment.
{copy-tvnc-xserver}: Adjust default Makefile variables, which simplifies
needed bindings in other phases.
{build-tigervnc, build, install-tigervnc-aux, install}: Remove let*-bound
variables.
{build-tigervnc, build}: Honor PARALLEL-BUILD?.

Subject: [PATCH 02/15] gnu: tigervnc-server: Move source production into
 origin snippet.
Date: Fri, 23 Sep 2022 01:00:29 -0400
This will make it possible to patch command references in source files, and
also makes it more transparent as to what sources get used.

* gnu/packages/vnc.scm (tigervnc-server): Re-flow comment.
[source]: Inherit from xorg-server.  Add a snippet.  Use a patch to apply the
xserver patch.  Fix file name.
[phases]{copy-tvnc-xserver, patch-xserver}: Delete phases.
{build-tigervnc, install-tigervnc-aux}: Adjust accordingly.

Date: Fri, 23 Sep 2022 01:00:35 -0400
It has only one user, which is better suited for wait-for-screen-text anyway.

* gnu/tests/base.scm (run-basic-test): Refactor to use wait-for-screen-text
instead of marionette-screen-text.

Subject: [PATCH 09/15] marionette: Preserve screen dumps on failures.
Date: Fri, 23 Sep 2022 01:00:36 -0400
This is to make it easier to debug test failures involving
'wait-for-screen-text': the screendump image used for the OCR is now preserved
for inspection when 'wait-for-screen-text' fails.

* gnu/build/marionette.scm (marionette-screen-text): Return the screendump
image file as the second value.  Adjust doc.
(wait-for-screen-text): Add the preserved screendump image file name to the
error message.  Adjust doc.

+
+The @code{(gnu services vnc)} module provides services related to
+@dfn{Virtual Network Computing} (VNC), which makes it possible to
+locally use graphical Xorg applications running on a remote machine.
+Combined with a graphical manager that supports the @dfn{X Display
+Manager Control Protocol}, such as GDM (@pxref{gdm}) or LightDM
+(@pxref{lightdm}), it is possible to remote an entire desktop for a
+multi-user environment.
+
+@subsubheading Xvnc
+
+Xvnc is a VNC server that spawns its own X window server; which means it
+can run on headless servers.  The Xvnc implementations provided by the
+@code{tigervnc-server} and @code{turbovnc} aim to be fast and efficient.
+
+@defvar {Scheme Variable} xvnc-service-type
+
+The @code{xvnc-server-type} service can be configured via the
+@code{xvnc-configuration} record, documented below.  A second virtual
+display could be made available on a remote machine for via the
+following configuration:
+@end defvar
+
+@lisp
+(service xvnc-service-type (xvnc-configuration (display-number 10)
+@end lisp
+
+As a demonstration, the @command{xclock} command could then be started
+on the remote machine on display number 10, and it could be display
+locally via the @command{vncviewer} command:
+@example
+# Start xclock on the remote machine.
+ssh -L5910:localhost:5910 -- guix shell xclock -- env DISPLAY=:10 xclock
+# Access it via VNC.
+guix shell tigervnc-client -- vncviewer localhost:5910
+@end example
+
+The following configuration combines XDMCP and Inetd to allow multiple
+users to concurrently use the remote system, login in graphically via
+the GDM display manager:
+
+@lisp
+(operating-system
+  [...]
+  (services (cons*
+             [...]
+             (service xvnc-service-type (xvnc-configuration
+                                         (display-number 5)
+                                         (localhost? #f)
+                                         (xdmcp? #t)
+                                         (inetd? #t)))
+             (modify-services %desktop-services
+               (gdm-service-type config => (gdm-configuration
+                                            (inherit config)
+                                            (auto-suspend? #f)
+                                            (xdmcp? #t)))))))
+@end lisp
+
+A remote user could then connect to it by using the @command{vncviewer}
+command or a compatible VNC client and start a desktop session of their
+choosing:
+@example
+vncviewer remote-host:5905
+@end example
+
+@quotation Warning
+Unless your machine is in a controlled environment, for security
+reasons, the @code{localhost?} configuration of the
+@code{xvnc-configuration} record should be left to its default @code{#t}
+value and exposed via a secure means such as an SSH port forward.  The
+XDMCP port, UDP 177 should also be blocked from the outside by a
+firewall, as it is not a secure protocol and can expose login
+credentials in clear.
+@end quotation

+@c Use (configuration->documentation 'xvnc-configuration) to regenerate
+@c the documentation.
+@c %start of fragment
+@deftp {Data Type} xvnc-configuration
+Available @code{xvnc-configuration} fields are:
+
+@table @asis
+@item @code{xvnc} (default: @code{tigervnc-server}) (type: file-like)
+The package that provides the Xvnc binary.
+
+@item @code{display-number} (default: @code{0}) (type: number)
+The display number used by Xvnc.  You should set this to a number not
+already used a Xorg server.
+
+@item @code{geometry} (default: @code{"1024x768"}) (type: string)
+The size of the desktop to be created.
+
+@item @code{depth} (default: @code{24}) (type: color-depth)
+The pixel depth in bits of the desktop to be created.  Accepted values
+are 16, 24 or 32.
+
+@item @code{port} (type: maybe-port)
+The port on which to listen for connections from viewers.  When left
+unspecified, it defaults to 5900 plus the display number.
+
+@item @code{ipv4?} (default: @code{#t}) (type: boolean)
+Use IPv4 for incoming and outgoing connections.
+
+@item @code{ipv6?} (default: @code{#t}) (type: boolean)
+Use IPv6 for incoming and outgoing connections.
+
+@item @code{password-file} (type: maybe-string)
+The password file to use, if any.  Refer to vncpasswd(1) to learn how to
+generate such a file.
+
+@item @code{xdmcp?} (default: @code{#f}) (type: boolean)
+Query the XDMCP server for a session.  This enables users to log in a
+desktop session from the login manager screen.  For a multiple users
+scenario, you'll want to enable the @code{inetd?} option as well, so
+that each connection to the VNC server is handled separately rather than
+shared.
+
+@item @code{inetd?} (default: @code{#f}) (type: boolean)
+Use an Inetd-style service, which runs the Xvnc server on demand.
+
+@item @code{frame-rate} (default: @code{60}) (type: number)
+The maximum number of updates per second sent to each client.
+
+@item @code{security-types} (default: @code{("None")}) (type: security-types)
+The allowed security schemes to use for incoming connections.  The
+default is "None", which is safe given that Xvnc is configured to
+authenticate the user via the display manager, and only for local
+connections.  Accepted values are any of the following: ("None"
+"VncAuth" "Plain" "TLSNone" "TLSVnc" "TLSPlain" "X509None" "X509Vnc")
+
+@item @code{localhost?} (default: @code{#t}) (type: boolean)
+Only allow connections from the same machine.  It is set to #true by
+default for security, which means SSH or another secure means should be
+used to expose the remote port.
+
+@item @code{log-level} (default: @code{30}) (type: log-level)
+The log level, a number between 0 and 100, 100 meaning most verbose
+output.  The log messages are output to syslog.
+
+@item @code{extra-options} (default: @code{()}) (type: strings)
+This can be used to provide extra Xvnc options not exposed via this
+<xvnc-configuration> record.
