+ <h2>What is Kasm Workspaces?</h2>
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+<blockquote><em>Kasm Workspaces is a docker container streaming platform that enables you to deliver browser-based access to desktops, applications, and web services. Kasm uses a modern DevOps approach for programmatic delivery of services via Containerized Desktop Infrastructure (CDI) technology to create on-demand, disposable, docker containers that are accessible via web browser. -<a href="https://github.com/kasmtech/workspaces-core-images" target="_blank">https://github.com/kasmtech/workspaces-core-images</a></em></blockquote>

+<h2>Installing Docker</h2>
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+<ol>
|
|
|
+ <li>Log into the Linux based device</li>
|
|
|
+ <li>Run the following commands in the terminal
|
|
|
+ <div class="codeBlock"># install prerequisites<br />
|
|
|
+ sudo apt install apt-transport-https ca-certificates curl software-properties-common gnupg-agent -y<br />
|
|
|
+ # add docker gpg key<br />
|
|
|
+ curl -fsSL https://download.docker.com/linux/$(awk -F'=' '/^ID=/{ print $NF }' /etc/os-release)/gpg | sudo apt-key add -<br />
|
|
|
+ # add docker software repository<br />
|
|
|
+ sudo add-apt-repository "deb [arch=$(dpkg --print-architecture)] https://download.docker.com/linux/$(awk -F'=' '/^ID=/{ print $NF }' /etc/os-release) $(lsb_release -cs) stable"<br />
|
|
|

|
|
|
+ sudo apt install docker-ce docker-compose containerd.io -y<br />
|
|
|
+ # enable and start docker service<br />
|
|
|
+ sudo systemctl enable docker && sudo systemctl start docker<br />
|
|
|
+ # add the current user to the docker group<br />
|
|
|
+ sudo usermod -aG docker $USER<br />
|
|
|
+ # reauthenticate for the new group membership to take effect<br />
|
|
|
+ su - $USER</div>
|
|
|
+ </li>
|
|
|

|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+<h2>Deploying Kasm Workspaces [Simple Method]</h2>
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+<p>This is the recommended installation method, but requires the most disk space. I choose to be more selective about the Kasm images running, so I use the second installation option outlined later on.</p>
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+<ol>
|
|
|
+ <li>Continue with the following commands in a terminal window
|
|
|
+ <div class="codeBlock"># change directory to /tmp<br />
|
|
|
+ cd /tmp<br />
|
|
|
+ # download the latest kasm workspaces release<br />
|
|
|
+ curl -O https://kasm-static-content.s3.amazonaws.com/kasm_release_1.11.0.18142e.tar.gz<br />
|
|
|
+ # extract the downloaded tar.gz<br />
|
|
|
+ tar -xf kasm_release*.tar.gz<br />
|
|
|
+ # execute the installation script<br />
|
|
|
+ sudo bash kasm_release/install.sh</div>
|
|
|
+ </li>
|
|
|
+ <li>Take note of the credentials displayed in the output</li>
|
|
|
+ <li>Open a web browser and navigate to https://DNSorIP</li>
|
|
|
+ <li>Log in using username admin@kasm.local and the password found in the installation output</li>
|
|
|
+</ol>
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+<h2>Deploying Kasm Workspaces [Selective Method]</h2>
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+<p>This method can use far less disk space, but requires more time and setup to add Kasm images manually. I only add the Kasm images I use regularly.</p>
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+<ol>
|
|
|
+ <li>Continue with the following commands in a terminal window
|
|
|
+ <div class="codeBlock"># change directory to /tmp<br />
|
|
|
+ cd /tmp<br />
|
|
|
+ # download the latest kasm workspaces release<br />
|
|
|
+ curl -O https://kasm-static-content.s3.amazonaws.com/kasm_release_1.11.0.18142e.tar.gz<br />
|
|
|
+ # extract the downloaded tar.gz<br />
|
|
|
+ tar -xf kasm_release*.tar.gz<br />
|
|
|
+ # execute the installation script<br />
|
|
|
+ # installing only the core images<br />
|
|
|
+ # and setting a custom https port<br />
|
|
|
+ sudo bash kasm_release/install.sh -I -L 8443</div>
|
|
|
+ </li>
|
|
|
+ <li>Take note of the credentials displayed in the output</li>
|
|
|
+ <li>Open a web browser and navigate to https://DNSorIP:8443</li>
|
|
|
+ <li>Log in using username admin@kasm.local and the password found in the installation output</li>
