I've installed Centos7 on the Google Cloud Platform, as you know there is just ssh option to connect to the machine.
Now I need to have access to its desktop(GUI) from my laptop (it's win10).
it's appreciated if anyone can help me.
Thanks in advance
you need to ssh login into your CentOS machine either from ssh button in Gcloud, or using the cloud shell:
gcloud compute ssh test-vws
then setup a password for your account:
sudo passwd `whoami`
After that, you will need to install a client that will allow you to navigate the GUI for your server.
again, on your server command line execute:
sudo yum -y update
sudo yum -y groupinstall 'Server with GUI'
once finished, follow this guige to install and setup Teradici Cloud Access Software (Remote Desktop Agent for CentOS).
Installing Teradici Cloud Access Software
On your virtual workstation, install the Teradici repositories:
sudo yum -y install https://downloads.teradici.com/rhel/teradici-repo-latest.noarch.rpm
Install Teradici Standard Agent for Linux:
sudo yum -y update
sudo yum -y install pcoip-agent-standard
Then you will have to register the Agent and create a firewall rule to allow the connection, just follow the guide, and your desktop connection will look like this:

I have used an instance with ubuntu-server of AWS and would like to use GUI either so I did the following operations referring,
https://aws.amazon.com/premiumsupport/knowledge-center/connect-to-linux-desktop-from-windows/
How To Set Up GUI On Amazon EC2 Ubuntu server
It could be summarized as following.
a) Installed ubuntu-desktop and vnc4server
b) Changed the security settings in AWS console to open the ports 5901, 5902
c) Changed the security settings in my computer to open the ports for outbounding
However, connecting to the ubuntu it works but I could see only the screen full with a gray color.
What should I do further?
Boot up EC2 - Ubuntu 14.04 (LTS)
Once the instance is all boot up, update it:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo vim /etc/ssh/sshd_config
Change PasswordAuthentication no to PasswordAuthentication yes
Restart SSH: sudo /etc/init.d/ssh restart OR sudo /etc/init.d/sshd restart
Go into root: sudo -i
Set password for ubuntu: passwd ubuntu
Once you've finished setting your password, go back to ubuntu user: su ubuntu & cd
Install Ubuntu desktop functionality:
export DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive
sudo -E apt-get update
sudo -E apt-get install -y ubuntu-desktop
Install XRDP and XFCE4:
sudo apt-get install xfce4 xrdp
sudo apt-get install xfce4 xfce4-goodies
Make XFCE4 the default for RDP connections:
echo xfce4-session > ~/.xsession
Copy .xsession to the /etc/skel folder so xfce4 is set as the default window manager for any new user accounts that are created.
sudo cp /home/ubuntu/.xsession /etc/skel
Allow host port to connect to xrdp.ini:
sudo vim /etc/xrdp/xrdp.ini
Change port=-1 to port=ask-1
Restart xrdp:
sudo service xrdp restart
Go back to AWS and make sure your security group includes inbound access to RDP 3389
Go into Microsoft Remote Desktop, type in your IP address with: XX.XX.XXX.XX:3389
Check this link - and this Untested but Solutions to 14.x to 15.x:
Update/upgrade with:
sudo do apt-get update
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
sudo do-release-upgrade
Make it short and simple:
apt-get update –y
apt-get upgrade –y
apt-get install ubuntu-desktop xfce4 firefox
apt-get install xrdp
echo xfce4-session >~/.xsession
Below lines will solve your problem
THE FIX: edit /etc/xrdp/startwm.sh
make the last two lines look like this;
#. /etc/X11/Xsession
. /usr/bin/startxfce4
NOTE: Don't forget to create new users with password. Extremly necessary.
With this you can simply RDP(Remote Desktop) to the Ubuntu GUI machine.
Donot forget to open ports in Security Groups and Firewall if any implemented.
I'm trying to write a Powershell script to create a VM in Azure with Docker installed. From everything I've read, I should be able to do the following:
$image = "b39f27a8b8c64d52b05eac6a62ebad85__Ubuntu-14_04_3-LTS-amd64-server-20150908-en-us-30GB"
azure vm docker create -e 22 -l 'North Europe' --docker-cert-dir dockercert --vm-size Small <myvmname> $image $userName $password
docker --tls -H tcp://<myvmname>.cloudapp.net:4243 info
The vm creation works, however the docker command fails with the following error:
An error occurred trying to connect: Get https://myvmname.cloudapp.net:4243/v1.20/info: dial tcp 40.127.169.184:4243: ConnectEx tcp: A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond.
Some articles I've found refer to port 2376 - but that doesn't work either.
Logging onto Azure portal and viewing the created VM - the Docker VM Extension doesn't seem to have been added and there's no endpoints other than the default SSH one. I was expecting these to have been created by the azure vm docker create command. Although I could be wrong with that bit.
A couple of example article I've looked at are here:
https://azure.microsoft.com/en-gb/documentation/articles/virtual-machines-docker-with-xplat-cli/
http://blog.siliconvalve.com/2015/01/07/get-started-with-docker-on-azure/
However, there's plenty of other articles saying the same thing.
Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong?
I know you are doing nothing wrong. My azurecli-dockerhost connection had been working for months and failed recently. I re-created my docker host using "azure vm docker create" but it does not work any more.
I believe it is a bug that the azure-docker team has to fix.
For the time being, my solution is to:
1) Launch a Ubuntu VM WITHOUT using the Azure docker extension
2) SSH into the VM and install docker with these lines:
sudo su; apt-get -y update
apt-get install linux-image-extra-$(uname -r)
modprobe aufs
curl -sSL https://get.docker.com/ | sh
3) Run docker within this VM directly without relying on a "client" and in particular the azure cli.
If you insist on using the docker client approach, my alternative suggestion would be to update your azure-cli and try 'azure vm docker create' again. Let me know how it goes.
sudo su
apt-get update; apt-get -y install nodejs-legacy; apt-get -y install npm; npm install azure-cli --global
To add an additional answer to my question, it turns out you can do the same using the docker create command ...
docker-machine create $vmname --driver azure --azure-publish-settings-file MySubscription.publishsettings
This method works for me.
I have an Amazon ec2 instance in which I can login through putty. I want GUI on that instance. Please anyone help me, how can I get GUI on ec2 instance.
Install VNC and connect using VNC. View the video here.
You can also use an X11 server like MobaXTerm: http://mobaxterm.mobatek.net/ ot Xming: http://sourceforge.net/projects/xming/ (assuming you work on a PC running Windows).
login ec2 instance and execute below commands
Sudo apt-get update
Sudo apt-get install lxde
sudo start lxdm
sudo apt-get install xrdp
sudo passwd ubuntu
then open RDC
username -- hostname which you provided in putty
I'm looking to move Jenkins to Amazon EC2 running Amazon Linux.
Currently we have Jenkins installed as a package (via yum). I'm considering running Jenkins as the contained jenkins.war on EC2 (for auto-upgrades and ease of deployment).
Unfortunately I've been unable to find much documentation regarding managing jenkins as the latter.
I'm trying to determine:
Which installation is preferred, and why?
If running as a contained jar:
How do I start/stop jenkins?
Should I create a jenkins user?
Installation Steps :
Please launch an Amazon Linux instance using Amazon Linux AMI.
Login to your Amazon Linux instance.
Become root using “sudo su -” command.
Update your repositories
yum update
Get Jenkins repository using below command
wget -O /etc/yum.repos.d/jenkins.repo http://pkg.jenkins-ci.org/redhat-stable/jenkins.repo
Get Jenkins repository key
rpm --import http://pkg.jenkins-ci.org/redhat-stable/jenkins-ci.org.key
Install jenkins package
yum install jenkins
Start jenkins and make sure it starts automatically at system startup
service jenkins start
chkconfig jenkins on
Open your browser and navigate to http://<Elastic-IP>:8080. You will see jenkins dashboard.
That’s it. You have your jenkins setup up and running. Now, you can create jobs to build the code.

I have tried to install clamav in linux centos, but not able to succeed, so anybody provide me the procedure to install clamav antivirus and test the same.
Thanks in advance
First thing to do is install the program sudo apt-get install clamav
It´s necessary install the deamon program as well sudo apt-get install clamav-daemon
Once that we have the program properly installed, will be necessary configure to make it works with our app. /etc/clamav/clamd.conf
TCPAddr 127.0.0.1
TCPSocket 3310
To configure by console the antivirus just type sudo dpkg-reconfigure clamav-freshclam
Restart the service sudo /etc/init.d/clamv-* restart
For CentOS 6
Install ClamAV via yum epel repo:
yum install clamd
Edit config file:
vim /etc/clamd.conf
ExtendedDetectionInfo yes
ExcludePath /usr/local/maldetect/
DetectPUA yes
Set to start on boot:
chkconfig clamd on
Update ClamAV prior to a scan:
freshclam
Start ClamAV:
service clamd start
Add the cron for daily automatic scans:
vim /etc/cron.daily/daily-clamscan
#!/bin/bash
SCAN_DIR="/"
LOG_FILE="/var/log/clamav/daily-clamscan.log"
/usr/bin/clamscan -i -r $SCAN_DIR >> $LOG_FILE
Set proper cron permissions:
sudo chmod +x /etc/cron.daily/daily-clamscan
Update the logrotate file to look for all logs via wildcard
vim /etc/logrotate.d/daily-clamscan
/var/log/clamav/daily-clamscan.log {
missingok
notifempty
create 644 clam clam
}
Thats how I installed it on my machine. Here are a few good quick commands or you can use the cron to manually run it. I also installed Linux Malware Detect (LMD) with it so I can do more for my scans.
Full System Scan that only displays infected files and runs in the background with bell
Use jobs command to view status
clamscan -r --bell -i / &
