I have an Ubuntu server run on 21.10 version without Gui. Sometime I would access its console remotely to see some output values. I don't want install any Desktop Enviroment libraries like VNC, it should be like Digital Ocean Droplet Web Console or Gitlab terminal CI Running Jobs. I don't know any tool or software play a role like that.

Everything is operating when I install coder on an Ubuntu workstation in the local server, however the online UI is not visible.
After doing a Google search for running a Gnome desktop or just desktop (found Xfce4 info...) on a cloud instance, I found some guides at Digital Ocean, for example:
Install and Configure VNC on Ubuntu 20.04LTS
The problem is, that doesn't help me set up a desktop that can run Visual Studio Code or other apps. vscode fails to run, and so does the Atom text editor. They seem to need something like the Gnome Desktop to run, which I can't start using the information in that link. I can't just replace xfce4 with gnome-session and get it to work.
Am I missing something? I have installed gnome desktop and vnc server.
I hadn't installed all the packages I needed. Some were missing in the various guides I read.
So I went here:
Installing and configuring Ubuntu Desktop for Google Cloud Platform
... and it worked perfectly.
I want to run odesk time tracker (a Qt4 app) which captures your screen and keystrokes for freelance work logging. But I don't trust it and want to sandbox it.
On Linux, there are ways to run GUI items on docker container and forward X11 to Linux host. Can I do this on mac? The app will run on Linux container and will be displayed on Mac with capturing screen/keystroke.
I think VNC method would display the linux host, not the mac. If linux connects mac, I have to install the software on mac. I don't know if I can do X11 forwarding.
You need to have XQuartz installed on your Mac. You can get it here -
http://xquartz.macosforge.org/landing/
Once you installed it, follow this procedure -
Run X11 application (included with XQuartz)
Open X11 Preferences and make sure "Allow connections..." is checked
Restart X11 application
Open a terminal
ssh to your docker with X11 forwarding: ssh -X YOUR_DOCKER_IP
From now on, any GUI application that you run on your docker will show up on your Mac.
Sorry but I'm a newbie in Linux. I have a VPS hosting of CentOS 6. Can I access it like Remote Desktop on windows to see the GUI?
With a hosted Linux machine chances are that id doesn't even have "the GUI" (an X11 server and some GUI environment like KDE or Gnome) installed at all but only supports command line access via ssh.
If you really need GUI instead of command line access then the "classic" option would be VNC. There is a HowTo for this for CentOS at
http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/VNC-Server
or at
http://www.howtoforge.com/vnc-server-installation-centos-6.5

I'm trying to put in production my shiny app. I can run my shiny app locally on my Windows machine, from R. However, since we need to use Linux to deploy the app over the web, we decided to use a Linux server for that. We access this Linux server remotely, from our local machines (running Windows).
I followed the instruction at the RStudio website, and successful installed Shine Server on the Linux server. Its's running on it. I don't know what to do next. So, my question is: what should I do next? Please, remember that I access the Linux server remotely (using puty). Also, I have almost no knowledge of Linux.
Any guidance on what to do next is very welcome.
Some info that may be useful:
I use a Ubuntu 12.04.3
I ran as root (I think, but I can use sudo, for sure).
Another person has access to this server besides me.
We use R 3.0.2
you can follow the instructions here:

Short answer:
# this is all one line
sudo wget\
https://raw.github.com/rstudio/shiny-server/master/config/upstart/shiny-server.conf\
-O /etc/init/shiny-server.conf
# Start the server
sudo start shiny-server
Then just open a browser and point to it
