The collabora/code Docker image can be installed to any x86-64, ppc64 or arm64 host (e.g. on Linux and Windows), and it is fully configurable. For more information about setup and configuration for deployment, please read the CODE Docker page. If you want to try it out quickly, you can set up CODE docker image with file sharing integration in less than 5 minutes in a very basic way, following these instructions: quick tryout with ownCloud or quick tryout with Nextcloud.
By using the Installimage Script, which is already pre-installed in the Rescue System, you can perform customizable installations of all Linux images that are available on Robot. In addition you can also install older images, for which we do not offer support or guarantee compatibility anymore. You can find those images after starting the Installimage script within the operating system selection menu under the Old images section.
To get started, just boot the server to the Rescue System. Then mount the remote filesystem that contains your archive (or just upload it to the Rescue System). Then start the Installimage Script (command: installimage). In the following menu, select custom_images. This will load a blank configuration, which you can customize to suit your requirements. You will also find guidelines and examples there.
For this method, just order a KVM Console via Robot. To do this, click on the correct server on your Robot account, select the Support section, and choose the server specific request "Remote console / KVM". In the comment field for the support request, insert a direct download link for the image.
To create a link for the image, you can upload your image to your preferred file hoster, webspace, Storage Box or FTP server. As an alternative, you can send us a direct download link from a foreign website, or choose an image from our mirror. (The email that we sent you when you ordered you server also contains the login details). You will also find several Windows Server images on our mirror.
To get started, just order a KVM Console via Robot. Log onto your Robot account, click on the correct server, select the Support section, and choose the server specific request "Remote console / KVM".Once you receive the login data for the KVM Console, follow this guide to mount your image.
In the latest version of the ESXI server, the web UI is only available for managing the existing virtual machines (VMs) or creating new VMs. By default, the SSL certificate that comes with ESXI is a self-signed certificate, which is not accepted by most browsers. In this case, we are using ESXI version 6.7, with the URL dubbed esxi-srv.example.com and an expired SSL certificate. We are going to replace it with a new SSL certificate.
Virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) is a desktop virtualization technology wherein a desktop operating system, typically Microsoft Windows, runs and is managed in a data center. The virtual desktop image is delivered over a network to an endpoint device, which allows the user to interact with the operating system and its applications as if they were running locally. The endpoint may be a traditional PC, thin client device or a mobile device.
A mechanism for mastering and distributing VDI images is necessary, and there is significant complexity involved with these processes. Depending on enterprise requirements, IT may employ one gold image for all VDI workloads or numerous gold images. Minimizing the number of images decreases administrative effort, as each image adds exponential overhead. IT must open gold images, revise them with Windows updates, base applications, antivirus and other changes, and then subsequently re-enable them.
IT often uses layering technologies in conjunction with VDI images. By providing a non-persistent virtual desktop to users and adding layers for applications and functionality, IT can customize a virtual desktop with minimal management. For example, IT may append an application layer suitable for a marketing department for those users, whereas an engineering department would require a distinct application layer with CAD or other design applications.
VDI administrators may deploy non-persistent or persistent desktops. Persistent virtual desktops have a 1:1 ratio, meaning that each user has their own desktop image. Non-persistent desktops have a many:1 ratio, which means that many end users share one desktop image. The primary difference between the two types of virtual desktops lies in the ability to save changes and permanently install apps to the desktop.
The most commonly cited drawback for non-persistent VDI is limited personalization and flexibility. Customization is more limited for non-persistent VDI, but IT can layer a mechanism to append the user profile, applications and other data at launch. Thus, non-persistent VDI presents a user with a base image with unique customizations.
The VDI user experience is equal to or better than the physical workstation due to the centralized system resources assigned to the virtual desktop, as well as the desktop image's close proximity to back-end databases, storage repositories and other resources. Further, remote display protocols compress and optimize network traffic considerably, which enables screen paints, keyboard and mouse data, and other interactions to simulate the responsiveness of a local desktop.
With VDI, the business locally creates and manages the underlying virtualization and resulting virtual desktops. This means the business itself owns and operates the VDI servers, takes charge of creating and maintaining all the virtual desktop images, and so on. By deploying VDI, a business exercises complete control over the virtual desktop environment. This can be a preferred alternative for any business that is subject to stringent compliance regulations or must provide a strong security posture. However, the additional costs of buying, installing and maintaining VDI servers and software may be prohibitive for some small businesses.
With DaaS, a third-party provider creates and manages the virtualization environment and virtual desktops. Most commonly, this includes not only the virtual desktop, but also apps and support. The outside provider owns and operates the VDI servers and controls the creation and provisioning of virtual desktop images. In effect, the business simply "rents" virtual desktops from the provider who provisions the requested instances and makes them available to users.
But the technical beauty of a solution is no longer my decision path. It has become time and ease of use, ease of fixing stuff remotely. If a docker is no longer running I can remotely pull a new image, restart and I am done. Manually installing requires hours, while all my family (or clients) stare with laser eyes and curse the day of my birth.
For the first issue, we are always try to make Seafile easy to install. More ideas are welcome. In my opinion, the current one page manual on setting Seafile docker image up is already very easy: Seafile Community Installation - Seafile Admin Manual
Note2: Migrating Physical 2 Virtual of MS Windows systems (no matter if workstation or server) is mostly a matter of loading mergeide (A MS Tool!), creating a image (no matter if clonezilla, acronis or whatever tool) and moving the image to the storage NAS.
In VCF 4.x the the workflow prompt is a lot more clear and direct. Users should quite easily figure out they have a licensing issue on the host. The image below is what you should expect if you are facing the same issue.
This is a common error that is faced during a bring up, it may be shown as Failed to validate route distribution. If you look at the bring up log files, path can be found here, you should see something similar to the image below.
If you have chosen to image your servers using VIA, you may get stuck attempting to figure out what the password of the host is. If you have not changed any settings, then the default credentials out of the box should be.
This 2-hour crash-course allowed me to understand at least the basics of Docker, images, containers and how to create or work with them. The way you create a Docker image made me realise that Docker is just a basic, infrastructure technology. If you need to deliver the marketing promises of automatic deployment, scaling, version controls, you will need additional tooling that will do this automation.
Using the install flag --slim-images will download and use slim Alpine based service containers. These images are smaller and more simplified yet retain the same functionality. These images do not have the same broad compatibility as the default Ubuntu containers.
9. After the image is imported as an AMI, follow the instructions for Launch an Instance using the old launch instance wizard. Or, follow the instructions for Launch an instance using the new launch instance wizard.
The neat thing about this is, if you ever want to change the base packages that come on your OS (like when kubernetes or docker get upgraded) - you would simply update the version strings next to each package and deploy the OVA again with the new spec attached, rather than having to rebuild an image manually and in its entirety via SSH.
