[Tutorial] Linux + VMware = Deakron Server

[Nosferatu.]

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):

apt-get install x-window-system

if that not works try it:

aptitude install xorg

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

apt-get install gnome-core gdm synaptic

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

apt-get install kde

now change the directory:

cd /usr/lib/

And Download all this package: (EDIT: Links are Dead. Goto: for Download)

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

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

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

Now we can install FREENX:

dpkg -i nxclient_3.3.0-6_i386.deb

dpkg -i nxnode_3.3.0-17_i386.deb

dpkg -i nxserver_3.3.0-15_i386.deb

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

useradd -m Remote

set the password from ur user:

passwd Remote

btw. Dont forgott to download the Client to connect on your Linux Desktop

Okay connect now to your Remote Desktop using NXClient

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.

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

#!/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

That might be useful to someone, but I still don't see the point of Linux. I know a lot of people use Linux to run servers, but I still don't understand why...

Anyway, good job you're doing here.

that is actualy true since linux os is free they dont charge for it when u buy a dedicated where as for windows server 2003 its 25$ a month extra.
nice tutorial a lot of ppl have been tryin to get server working on linux.

[Nosferatu.]

alright.
Im using it for my Server, and its works fine.

btw, u must execute after every Root Restart the Port Forwarding Tool , and make u sure if it allowed to run more as 1 MACs (NIC) on your Root.

Contact ur Hoster, ur port will closed from System if it not allowed, me was happends! Now i can use 3 MACs after contacting my Hoster
