<p>So i finally got this working on Debian 9 with fully enabled copy & paste RDP protocol (which is superior to vnc and faster)<br>
Here's a little updated guide to <a href="https://github.com/bisq-network/bisq/wiki/2.2.-Hosted-Bisq-using-VPS">https://github.com/bisq-network/bisq/wiki/2.2.-Hosted-Bisq-using-VPS</a> for anyone who cares:</p>
<p>Make a new google compute engine with 1 vCPU 3.75 GB memory and a 10 or 20 gig Debian GNU/Linux 9 (stretch) image. Expand security tab and add your ssh key bound to a user (avoid the browser terminal)</p>
<p>SSH into the machine and create a password enabled user for RDP:</p>
<pre><code>adduser bisq
usermod -aG sudo bisq
</code></pre>
<p>Install xrdp with xfce desktop</p>
<pre><code>sudo apt-get -y update
sudo apt-get install -y xrdp tigervnc-standalone-server
sudo apt-get install -y xfce4 xfce4-terminal
</code></pre>
<p>Enable xfce for xrdp:</p>
<pre><code>echo xfce4-session > /home/bisq/.xsession
nano /etc/xrdp/startwm.sh
</code></pre>
<p>Replace all lines after if..fi startwm.sh with startxfce4. The file should look like this:</p>
<pre><code>#!/bin/sh
if test -r /etc/default/locale; then
        ...
fi

#test -x /etc/X11/Xsession && exec /etc/X11/Xsession
#exec /bin/sh /etc/X11/Xsession
startxfce4
</code></pre>
<p>optional:  <strong>nano /etc/xrdp/xrdp.ini</strong> and move the section Xvnc onto first place (default) before Xorg</p>
<p>Restart xrdp:<br>
<code>sudo service xrdp restart</code></p>
<p>Use a free rdp client to connect to your instance with the bisq user. open a terminal to install the latest bisq.deb:</p>
<pre><code>wget https://github.com/bisq-network/bisq/releases/download/v0.8.0/Bisq-64bit-0.8.0.deb
sudo dpkg -i Bisq-64bit-0.8.0.deb
</code></pre>
<p><strong>IMPORTANT:</strong><br>
RDP and VNC are <strong>unsecure</strong>, unencrypted protocols! You should use a local ssh tunnel to port 3389!<br>
Example for windows with Putty:<br>
On putty go to Connection->SSH->Tunnels<br>
<em>Source port: 33389<br>
Destination: localhost:3389<br>
Set to Local</em></p>
<p>SSH with these settings to your instance and connect your RDP client to localhost:33389</p>
