Ubuntu

Register VPS

We recommend to use VPS from well-known services such as Vultr, DigitalOcean to ensure stability.

The operating system we recommend is: Ubuntu 20.04 LTS x64.

Docs: https://docs.vultr.com/connect-to-a-server-using-an-ssh-key. If you bought a server from another provider, the steps are basically the same.

In the process of executing commands, if any command responds "Abort!", use the up arrow button on the keyboard to quickly re-enter the previous command (which has not been completed yet), then execute again.

Setup Ubuntu server

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade

Create Sudo user

(for example: new user is ‘hakuchain’)
adduser hakuchain
sudo usermod -aG sudo hakuchain

Install GUI for first-time users of Linux/Ubuntu

sudo apt install lightdm

Choose lightdm as default display manager at the congifuring lightdm screen

sudo systemctl start lightdm
sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop

Instead of using Console Viewer in some VPS providers, you now can use Remote Desktop.

sudo apt-get install xrdp
sudo sed -i 's/3389/53579/g' /etc/xrdp/xrdp.ini
sudo sed -i 's/#Port 22/Port 53572/g' /etc/ssh/sshd_config
sudo ufw allow 53572 && sudo ufw allow 53579 && sudo ufw enable && sudo ufw status numbered
sudo reboot

Connect to VPS with Remote Desktop

Use remote desktop application to connect to your VPS. Your server IP for remote connection is:

<server-ip>:53579

Enter your username and password you have created above
