wellwelwel/desktop repository overview

⁠🖥️ Ubuntu VPS Server with Remote Desktop

⁠Default Ports

ssh: 22
rdp: 3389

⁠Access

• Just access with user root and password root by default
• To set your password, create a file with the plain text password and mount to /root/.secret before compose it

⁠Example of access

• Remote Desktop Software

  Host: 127.0.0.1
  User: 'root'
  Password: 'root' # or your password in container file `/root/.secret`
  

  Copy

  By default, most applications already have port 3389 set, if you have trouble accessing it, enter the port manually, like 127.0.0.1:3379

• SSH

  ssh [email protected]
     # password: "root" or your password in container file `/root/.secret`
  

  Copy

⁠Compose Example

# docker-compose.yml

version: '3'
services:
   vps-xubuntu-desktop:
      image: wellwelwel/desktop:latest
      privileged: true
      restart: always
      ports:
         - '22:22' # SSH
         - '3389:3389' # RDP
      volumes:
         - ./.secret:/root/.secret:ro

⁠Notes

• 📦 Because it's a fully VPS Server with Desktop, the images are relatively large
• 🖥️ Some free softwares for remote access:
  • Linux: Remmina
  • Windows: Microsoft Remote Desktop (Microsft Store)
  • Mac: Microsoft Remote Desktop (Apple Store)
• 😉 Like every container, when you dismount it, all changes will be lost
  • If you install applications, change system settings, create a new image
    • You can use commit from an opened container or Build a new image from this

⁠Important

• ✅ This is a tool designed for testing purposes.
• ❌ You can use it normally for production, knowing that it was not designed for that purpose, so beware!

⁠Development

• This repository has multiple steps:

  1. I pulled the image from wellwelwel/vps:latest⁠

  2. With svps⁠, I mounted with this setup:

     // @ts-check
     import { defineConfig } from 'svps';
     
     export default defineConfig({
        access: [
           {
              host: '127.0.0.1',
              username: 'root',
              password: 'root',
           },
        ],
        steps: {
           /** on */
           repare: true,
           apt: true,
           firewall: true,
           desktop: true,
           reboot: true,
     
           /** off */
           users: false,
           certificate: false,
           apache: false,
           docker: false,
           php: false,
           node: false,
           mysql: false,
           crontab: false,
           appendCommands: false,
        },
     });
     

     Copy

  3. Already inside the Desktop, I ran a script to personalize the XFCE options: (see here)⁠

  4. Lastly, I commit the opened container to build the final image 🐳
