HerunterladenIf you want to install Getscreen.me on a virtual private server (VPS) and launch remote access on Linux, use the following recommendations.
Creating a user
First you need to access the VPS and create a user under whose name you are going to work. In our example, this is getscreen.
adduser getscreen
usermod -aG sudo getscreen
Installation and setup
To let Getscreen.me work without an explicit (graphical) user login, create a virtual X11 server Xfce & Getscreen.me are to work on.
Xvfb server
First install the Xvfb virtual server:
sudo apt-get install xvfb
Next, create the file in /etc/systemd/system/xvfb.service
sudo nano /etc/systemd/system/xvfb.service
and describe the service:
[Unit]
Description=X virtual framebuffer
[Service]
Type=simple
User=getscreen
ExecStart=/usr/bin/Xvfb :99 -screen 0 1440x900x24 -ac
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
A virtual screen with a resolution of 1440x900 or other values can be used for work.
Xfce4 terminal
Specify the following data to install the Xfce4 terminal emulator:
sudo apt-get install xfce4 xfce4-goodies libappindicator3-1
libwebkit2gtk-4.0
Next, create the service for launching the terminal:
sudo nano /etc/systemd/system/xfce4.service
with the following content:
[Unit]
Description=XFCE4
Requires=xvfb.service
After=xvfb.service
[Service]
Type=simple
User=getscreen
WorkingDirectory=/home/getscreen/
Environment="DISPLAY=:99"
ExecStart=/usr/bin/startxfce4
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
Installing Getscreen.me
Download Getscreen.me
wget https://getscreen.me/download/getscreen.me.deb
Install:
sudo apt-get install ./getscreen.me.deb
Set up a username and a password to connect to an account:
/opt/getscreen.me/getscreen.me setup
Create the getscreen.me service
sudo nano /etc/systemd/system/getscreen.me.service
and describe it:
[Unit]
Description=Getscreen.me
Requires=xfce4.service
After=xfce4.service
[Service]
Type=simple
User=getscreen
WorkingDirectory=/home/getscreen/
Environment="DISPLAY=:99"
ExecStart=/opt/getscreen.me/getscreen.me
Restart=on-failure
RestartSec=60s
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
Launching the services
To launch the services, perform:
sudo systemctl daemon-reload
sudo systemctl enable getscreen.me
sudo systemctl start xvfb
sudo systemctl start xfce4
sudo systemctl start getscreen.me
Updating Getscreen.me
To update the agent, create the script:
nano ~/getscreen.update.sh
Set the following data in the script:
#!/bin/bash
# delete update
rm -F getscreen.me.update
# download update
wget https://getscreen.me/download/getscreen.me -O
getscreen.me.update || exit 1
# stop service
sudo systemctl stop getscreen.me || exit 2
# update
sudo cp getscreen.me.update /opt/getscreen.me/getscreen.me || exit 3
# start service
sudo systemctl start getscreen.me || exit 4
echo "getscreen have been updated"
Call the script to perform an update:
sh ~/getscreen.update.sh
