This guide explains how to add a graphical desktop to an Ubuntu 24.04 VPS and access it using Windows Remote Desktop. The setup uses XFCE, xrdp, and a regular Linux user. RDP connections travel through an SSH tunnel, with xrdp listening only on localhost.
I configured Kerberos on Ubuntu 24.04 WSL and was able to run the following command:
export KRB5_TRACE=/dev/stderr
ldapsearch -H ldap://myserver.my.local -Y GSSAPI
that produced the following output:
(more…)I updated my Ubuntu 24.04 and my WordPress stopped loading images of size 1.3MB and higher.
I fixed this by adding the following:
client_max_body_size 32M;
to Nginx configuration.
(more…)Obtain private and public keys from exported pfx file:
openssl pkcs12 -in ldaps.pfx -nocerts -nodes -out ldap.key
openssl pkcs12 -in ldaps.pfx -clcerts -nokeys -out ldap.crt
Tried the following
sysctl net.core.somaxconn
net.core.somaxconn = 4096
sudo sysctl -w net.core.somaxconn=8192
but without a success.
(more…)Install Nginx with stream module:
sudo apt install nginx-full
The output of the command
nginx -V
should contain with-stream=dynamic.
And add the following to /etc/nginx/nginx.conf:
stream {
server {
listen 12345; # The port that Nginx listens to
proxy_pass 192.168.0.121:389; # Where to forward connections
}
}
In PowerShell:
wsl --export Ubuntu Ubuntu-01.tar
where Ubuntu is the distro name.
wsl --import UbuntuA C:\Users\dmitriano\wsl\UbuntuA Ubuntu-24.01.tar
probably the folder C:\Users\dmitriano\wsl\UbuntuA should exist.
