[Tutorial] Linux + VMware = Deakron Server

Warning, you need at least 4 GB of RAM! 8 GB or higher is recommended!

Now this way i have found:

First we have to install a Desktop and a tool,
to connect on Linux Server (Desktop):

Code:

apt-get install x-window-system

if that not works try it:

Code:

aptitude install xorg

now install the minima desktop (Very Good! KDE need to mush PC Power):

Code:

apt-get install gnome-core gdm synaptic

or kde (Use it only if the other one not working!!!):

Code:

apt-get install kde

now change the directory:

Code:

cd /usr/lib/

And Download all this package: (EDIT: Links are Dead. Goto: [Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...] for Download)

Code:

wget http://64.34.161.181/download/3.3.0/Linux/nxclient_3.3.0-6_i386.deb

Code:

wget http://64.34.161.181/download/3.3.0/Linux/nxnode_3.3.0-17_i386.deb

Code:

wget http://64.34.161.181/download/3.3.0/Linux/FE/nxserver_3.3.0-15_i386.deb

Now we can install FREENX:

Code:

dpkg -i nxclient_3.3.0-6_i386.deb

Code:

dpkg -i nxnode_3.3.0-17_i386.deb

Code:

dpkg -i nxserver_3.3.0-15_i386.deb

Now have to create a user like Remote (you cant connect as root):

Code:

useradd -m Remote

set the password from ur user:

Code:

passwd Remote

btw. Dont forgott to download the Client to connect on your Linux Desktop [Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...]

Okay connect now to your Remote Desktop using NXClient [Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...]

Get VMware for linux Download VMware-Workstation-6.5.3-185404.i386.bundle from the Offical Page.

Okay, when everything is ready, open Terminal and run with your "Remote Desktop" the Setup of VMware.

Code:

bash /home/Remote/Desktop/VMware-Workstation-6.5.3-185404.i386.bundle

Setup will run.

Now Download or Create an vmware image and start it with VMware.

Okay we are happy now, it works. Or not? Not quite yet! We still have to forward the ports to the VMnet IP to connect to the Dekaron Server, i use this tool for it:

portforwarding-setup.sh

Code:

#!/bin/bash

IPT=/sbin/iptables

# Kernel IP Routing 
echo 1 >/proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward

# Extra Route to VMNet Bridge of eth0 (you have to edit it)
route add -net 192.168.123.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 dev eth0

# Forwarding Rules (you have to edit it)

$IPT -t nat -I PREROUTING -i eth0 -p udp --dport 8767 -j DNAT --to-destination 192.168.123.130
$IPT -t nat -I PREROUTING -i eth0 -p tcp --dport 51234 -j DNAT --to-destination 192.168.123.130
$IPT -t nat -I PREROUTING -i eth0 -p tcp --dport 50005 -j DNAT --to-destination 192.168.123.130
$IPT -t nat -I PREROUTING -i eth0 -p tcp --dport 10000 -j DNAT --to-destination 192.168.123.130
$IPT -t nat -I PREROUTING -i eth0 -p tcp --dport 7880 -j DNAT --to-destination 192.168.123.130
$IPT -t nat -I PREROUTING -i eth0 -p tcp --dport 7882 -j DNAT --to-destination 192.168.123.130
$IPT -t nat -I PREROUTING -i eth0 -p tcp --dport 7883 -j DNAT --to-destination 192.168.123.130
$IPT -t nat -I PREROUTING -i eth0 -p tcp --dport 7886 -j DNAT --to-destination 192.168.123.130
$IPT -t nat -I PREROUTING -i eth0 -p tcp --dport 1433 -j DNAT --to-destination 192.168.123.130
$IPT -t nat -I PREROUTING -i eth0 -p tcp --dport 888 -j DNAT --to-destination 192.168.123.130
$IPT -t nat -I PREROUTING -i eth0 -p tcp --dport 1337 -j DNAT --to-destination 192.168.123.130


192.168.123.130 = IP From your Vmware Network
