| | 5 | Chrome Remote Desktop is a [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chrome_Remote_Desktop Google developed client-server framework] that allows for remote desktop access to (in this case) a [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Headless_computer headless machine]. In order to access a node that has Chrome Remote Desktop server side installed, you need to: |
| | 6 | |
| | 7 | ==== Step 1 |
| | 8 | Access the [https://remotedesktop.google.com/headless remote access page] on your local Chrome browser[[BR]] and hit '''Begin''' button: |
| | 9 | [[BR]] |
| | 10 | [[Image(Step1.png, size=300px)]] |
| | 11 | |
| | 12 | ==== Step 2 |
| | 13 | Hit '''Next''' (under the assumption that you already have remote desktop service installed on the target node) |
| | 14 | [[BR]] |
| | 15 | [[Image(Step2.png, size=300px)]] |
| | 16 | |
| | 17 | ==== Step 3 |
| | 18 | Generate authorization token for the node but hitting '''Authorize''' button |
| | 19 | [[BR]] |
| | 20 | [[Image(Step3.png, size=300px)]] |
| | 21 | |
| | 22 | ==== Step 4 |
| | 23 | Copy the command line with the token to you clipboard by selecting the target OS '''Copy''' button (icon to the right of the command line - example below points at the copy button for Linux platforms) |
| | 24 | [[BR]] |
| | 25 | [[Image(Step4.png, size=300px)]] |
| | 26 | |
| | 27 | Paste that command line in the remote ssh session on the node command line (typically not as a root user but rather as a user that was created for the remote access). |
| | 28 | [[BR]] |
| | 29 | [[Image(Paste.png, size=300px)]] |
| | 30 | |
| | 31 | As shown in the above figure, the service will prompt you (twice) for a '''PIN'' number that will be needed in the next step as an additional security feature. |
| | 32 | |
| | 33 | ==== Step 5 |
| | 34 | Switch to the '''Remote Access''' mode in your local browser: |
| | 35 | [[BR]] |
| | 36 | [[Image(Step5.png, size=300px)]] |
| | 37 | |
| | 38 | |
| | 39 | ==== Step 6 |
| | 40 | If the authorization was successfully applied you should see the node listed under the '''Remote devices''' section: |
| | 41 | [[BR]] |
| | 42 | [[Image(Step6.png, size=300px)]] |
| | 43 | |
| | 44 | Select that node and you should be prompted for a pin created in Step 5: |
| | 45 | [[BR]] |
| | 46 | [[Image(Step6a.png, size=300px)]] |
| | 47 | |
| | 48 | ==== Step 7 |
| | 49 | Once the pin is successfully entered, you should be rewarded with the remote desktop access within your browser: |
| | 50 | [[BR]] |
| | 51 | [[Image(Step7.png, size=300px)]] |
| | 52 | |
| | 53 | '''Important note:''' Chrome Remote Desktop authorization can't be saved with the image and will not "survive" reboots i.e. you will have to re-authorize access every time node is booted! |
