How to run desktop over xrdp in Google Compute nodes?
Here is what I did:
- Create compute node using Ubunutu 23.04 (Lunar Lobster) image
gcloud compute instances create ask-ubuntu \
--zone=europe-west1-c \
--machine-type=e2-standard-2 \
--network-interface=network-tier=PREMIUM,stack-type=IPV4_ONLY,subnet=default \
--maintenance-policy=MIGRATE \
--provisioning-model=STANDARD \
--no-service-account \
--no-scopes \
--enable-display-device \
--create-disk=auto-delete=yes,boot=yes,device-name=ask-ubuntu,image=projects/ubuntu-os-cloud/global/images/ubuntu-2304-lunar-amd64-v20230621,mode=rw,size=16,type=projects/chrome-formula-338416/zones/europe-west1-c/diskTypes/pd-balanced \
--no-shielded-secure-boot \
--shielded-vtpm \
--shielded-integrity-monitoring \
--labels=goog-ec-src=vm_add-gcloud \
--reservation-affinity=any
- take command line
gcloud compute ssh --zone "europe-west1-c" "ask-ubuntu"
- install software
sudo apt update -y && sudo apt dist-upgrade -y
sudo reboot
sudo apt install tasksel -y
sudo tasksel install xfce-desktop
sudo tasksel install ssh-server
sudo apt install xrdp -y
sudo usermod -a -G ssl-cert xrdp
sudo passwd mareklall
sudo reboot
- login over rdp appears properly
