Looking for remote desktop / Unable to get shared clipboard using VNC connection fromserver on Ubuntu and Mac client to Linux server with clipboard support

I have a remote Oracle Cloud VM running Ubuntu, and I want to remote in via VNC via macos Screen Sharing.

  I have it workingcan connect with Xvnc version TightVNC-1.3.10 but– but for the life of me cannot get shared clipboard to work.

Is there an alternative server/client setup that will work out of the box with a Mac client?

This is my xstartup

#!/bin/bash
xrdb $HOME/.Xresources
export DISPLAY=:1
eval $(dbus-launch --sh-syntax --exit-with-session)
export XKL_XMODMAP_DISABLE=1
autocutsel -selection PRIMARY -fork &
vncconfig -nowin &
