The end is nigh.
I don't know, you tell us. It's your server.
How to google?
Where's the tutorial?
Try this

i want to say : congrats for your third posting
Oh, Thanks!
The problem is, all those VNC tutorials are garbage because VNC is a red headed step child that sucks.
Fucking X sessions and window manager shit makes all those tutorials non-specific or too specific to particular setup.
Back in an earlier Ubuntu, you had like one click to enable remote access and some obscure command to do encrypted password. Then Ubuntu took that out and it's been shit ever since.
Just install Teamviewer.
TeamViewer on headless machine? and how do you propose to retrieve username and password of headless machine TeamViewer app?
!/bin/bash
apt-get update
apt-get -y upgrade
apt-get -y install xorg lxde-core vnc4server firefox
vnc4server
vnc4server -kill :1
echo "lxterminal &" >> /root/.vnc/xstartup
echo "/usr/bin/lxsession -s LXDE &" >> /root/.vnc/xstartup
vnc4server
FreeBSD with shebang in scripts, please.
It sounds like you don't know what a VNC server is for or else you'd understand why your question doesn't make sense.
If its headless, you'd manage it over SSH. This topic isn't talking about headless and not sure where you got that impression.
sudo apt update
sudo apt install xfce4 xfce4-goodies
sudo apt install tightvncserver
vncserver
You will require a password to access your desktops.
Password:
Verify:
The password must be between six and eight characters long. Passwords more than 8 characters will be truncated automatically.
Once you verify the password, you’ll have the option to create a view-only password. Users who log in with the view-only password will not be able to control the VNC instance with their mouse or keyboard. This is a helpful option if you want to demonstrate something to other people using your VNC server, but this isn’t required.
The process then creates the necessary default configuration files and connection information for the server. Additionally, it launches a default server instance on port 5901. This port is called a display port, and is referred to by VNC as :1. VNC can launch multiple instances on other display ports, with :2 referring to port 5902, referring to 5903, and so on:
