I’m pretty sure that you can do this simply from a terminal session : I’ve just left everything at the default for the moment because I want to check that it’s all working.īefore I attempt to connect via ssh, I want to make sure that it’s up and running so, just to be sure ( although it’s probably not necessary) : There are some fairly comprehensive instructions on configuring ssh here. Login to the server console and do the following : You can also do this manually once the installation is complete. The simplest is just selecting SSH as one of the options on the installation. Incidentally, if you’re ever on a server and are not sure whether you have the 32 or 64-bit version installed : There’s a pretty good illustration of the actual installation process here. For now, however, I’m just setting up the server with SSH. In time, no doubt, I’ll want some goodies installed, such as a LAMP setup. I’m going for a very vanilla installation at this point. ![]() Using Brasero, I’ve now burned the ISO onto a CD-R so I’m now ready to take the plunge and install the server. If, like me, you regularly buy magazines, you’ll probably already have the requisite server ISO on a cover disk so won’t have to download it. I’ve upgraded the RAM to a “whopping” 2GB ( there’s only two slots available and I swiped the chips from another machine…who are you calling cheap ?)Īs I’ve got less than 4GB of RAM to play with and this machine has always run OK with 32-bit Operating Systems, I’m going to stick with the 32-bit version of Ubuntu Server.Īll of the stuff on the PC that I want to keep has been backed up onto a USB stick. For now, I want to concentrate on the initial Server installation and SSH setup.Īt this point, I should introduce the host – a venerable Desktop PC with an AMD Athlon 64 3200+ processor. I’ll post about the Samba setup and Oracle installation separately. I also want to install Oracle 11g on it at some point, so I have somewhere to play with an up-to-date version of Oracle.Īs 11g tends to get a bit sniffy if it’s got a GB or less of physical memory to play with, I need to make sure that the host machine has enough memory to accommodate it. I want to keep my holiday snaps and my music on it so I can access them from the other machines in my house. ![]() I don’t need to worry too much about large amounts of traffic. This server is just something for me to play around with at home. Right now, however, it’s probably a good idea to set out what I’m trying to achieve here. I know, I’ll have a crack at setting up an Ubuntu server on a desktop PC. It is said that the Devil makes work for idle hands.
