Need some help with an ubuntu 16 lts server setup instance

Ok so long story short, I want to move hosts over to an ubuntu setup on aws. The bad part is that I can't seem to figure out how to use ssh to set up a Desktop Environment that I can remote into.

Need some help doing it. Is anyone willing to set it up for me? Preferably RDP (although I consider this to be probably unrealistic), but Teamviewer or VNC would be fine as well. Teamviewer being my second choice.

Fwiw, I did try to do it myself. Spent the better part of a day on it, but while I seemed to make headway and I got the necessary components installed (following docu), it didn't work and unfortunately I didn't know enough about what I was doing to continue.

AWS Free tier. 99.9% uptime. Amazing ping and rock solid stability. Plus, you can run a zillion hosts on a miniscule instance.

I've already done it, but with a windows server. Worked great except for the fact that spring dedicated on windows eats 50%cpu constantly and the spring devs seem quite apathetic to fix it.

Been there, done that. No go.

Personally I stopped using Remote X in favor of some kind of VNC server forwarded over ssh because X11 will eventually go away because of Wayland replacing it and it will not have remote X capabilities.

I have this ansible playbook that configures X11vnc as a service. https://github.com/Oflameo/hackpgh_genpi/tree/master/ansible\

Now that you mentioned it, I will create a Debian package that does the same thing with TigerVNC and put it on my Gitlab probably this week. The main reason I am am switching to TigerVNC http://tigervnc.org/ is because it supports Remote Frame Buffer so I can see SDL and GL on the remote screen.
