Is it possible to run LightDM with an instance of x0vncserver?

Hi all!

I have an htpc that that's connected to a TV 100% of the time, but unless I'm watching something I access it over SSH/VNC. LightDM allows for VNC access, with the default command on the wiki being

Xvnc -rfbauth /etc/vncpasswd

This starts an instance of vncserver, but unfortunately my needs involve starting an instance of x0vncserver. Is there a command to successfully start x0vncserver? I've tried replacing the default command with

/usr/bin/sh -c '/usr/bin/x0vncserver -display :0 -rfbport 5902 -passwordfile /home/foo/.vnc/passwd &'

which matches what's in /etc/systemd/system/x0vncserver.service, but I haven't had much success yet.

Thanks for the help!
