I've followed numerous sets of instructions online, but it seems there might be several ways to do this (none of which worked). I've managed to get SSH working so I at least have an encrypted VNC session to the machine (no Mac VNC clients could connect to Vino, so I had to disable encryption in screen sharing), but I cannot get it to start before I login. The problem is that I cannot seem to get them to operate in headless mode. I've built several Ubuntu virtual machines for testing, and they work great when I'm at the machine. Windows is out because you can't control equipment with it due to the lack of Indi on that OS, so I'm left with Linux. I tried MacOS (on a pair of Mac minis I had left over from another project) but KStars isn't as stable there as it is on Linux and I can rarely make it through a night of imaging without losing several hours of dark sky.

I realize this isn't a Linux help forum, but I am having trouble finding instructions elsewhere so I thought I would ask.įor the past year I have loved running KStars on StellarMate OS (Raspberry Pi 4), but for various reasons I need more powerful machines.
