Here is a little tutorial on running our NeuroDesk <\/a>project in the free tier of Oracle cloud \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"
go to Compute -> Instances and select a Compartment to start the Instance in:<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
change the shape to “Speciality and Legacy” -> VM.Standard.E2.1.Micro, create a new virtual cloud network with a public IP and set up your SSH keys<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The below steps are for an older version of the neurodesk project – I recommend to follow the updated instructions here: https:\/\/neurodesk.github.io\/docs\/neurodesktop\/getting-started\/cloud\/<\/a> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

now connect to your newly created instance (the public IP is displayed when the instance is running) including some port forwardings:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

ssh -L 5900:127.0.0.1:5900 -L 6080:127.0.0.1:6080 opc@yourPublicIP<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
install a few packages including docker:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
sudo yum install screen docker-engine docker-cli\n<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
start docker and check if it’s running:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
sudo systemctl enable --now docker\n\nsudo systemctl status docker<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
start or reconnect to a screen session:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
screen -R\n<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
create a directory for the persistent data:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
mkdir ~\/vnm<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
start the neurodesk container:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
sudo docker run --privileged --name vnm -v ~\/vnm:\/vnm -v \/dev\/shm:\/dev\/shm -e USER=neuro -p 6080:80 -p 5900:5900 vnmd\/neurodesk:20201127\n<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
When the download of the container is done and everything is started up  (you should see “novnc entered RUNNING state”) open a browser on your machine and navigate to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
http:\/\/localhost:6080\/<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n
or open a VNC client and connect to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
localhost:5900<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
you can stop and delete the container using these commands:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
sudo docker stop vnm && sudo docker rm vnm\n<\/code><\/pre>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
