Install Kasm Server in Proxmox LXC 

me too i just made a directory '/dev/fuse'

Thanks! I appreciate the feedback.

Glad it’s still helpful!

Good info, thanks for the update.

It's ok, but i think frame rate is off ! video not smooth. thank you

Hichem Naami Thanks that actually makes sense. I think I filmed at 60 and Davinci brought it down to 24. I might try rendering it again. But I don’t think I I can replace it.

H0pH0p now there’s a thought. I didn’t even think to try it that way. I’ll have to test that out. I have been unsuccessful in my attempts to make the TurnKey Linux Priv container work as an Unprivileged one. I found out how to do it but I run into the same Docker issues as every other distro. Kasm really wants root.

@@AllenSampsell I did spin up a vm with turnkey core as you mentioned and installed kasm the way you said but I installed the sudo package first and didn't edit the lines. It did work, and installed fine. But I'm on vacation at the moment with an unstable connection to my servers. So if the install was 100% successful... I'll let you know when I get back home :)

My apologies... I replied to this but it was to the youtube NoReply email address.... Actually I do have a suggestion here.... Under Zones you should have only one and there are three dots that allow you to "Update Deployment Zone". The zone name is "default". Upstream Auth Address is proxy, Proxy Connections is checked, and finally Proxy Port is 0. Try that and let me know. I had to reach out to the folks at Kasm directly to get help with this. The way I had it setup before these settings, I could get to it internally inside my network if I left things default. But If I changed (I think it was) the upstream Auth Address to the IP of my Kasm server, I could only get to it by coming in from outside my home network (the internet). But this new config with the Proxy and Proxy port allows both. Sounds like your answer is somewhere in there. If it doesn't work, I would contact the folks at KASM directly. They have a sub-Reddit that they actively monitor as well.

Dufflepod full credit for that goes to this guys github theme github.com/Weilbyte/PVEDiscordDark I use a browser plugin called Stylus which uses that theme only for Proxmox pages.

@@AllenSampsell Could you share your Stylus css in an pastebin or similar? I seem to get white backgrounds in my diagrams when i try out the code from Weilbyte's github

Mathias Fröjd let me see what I can do. I just copied from that site.

Thanks for sharing that nano tip. In the next video I just took another users advice and installed sudo. :) That way I didn't have to change anything. Never would have thought of it. lol

@@AllenSampsell lol. ... installing sudo, genius. ;) ... on another note, vi user here. .. if you use vi, from the : prompt you can type "%s/sudo //g" to replace all instances of sudo with the space.

@@andresoliz1544 thanks for that... vi has always been a mystery to me lol. I just prefer nano but I have used vi before when I couldn't install nano. :)

Renan Willian at the same time? No. Not that I’m aware of unless it’s one of the special (expensive) nvidia cards.

@@AllenSampsell Ok, Thank you!! :)

Yes I saw that error multiple times when trying this until I used that particular LXC template in the video. Or even better check out the video for using a VM for KASM. It works just as well and is more secure for exposing to the internet like I did.

While CIAB is similar and looks pretty cool BTW... it is quite a bit different in function. Maybe the options are there to create “disposable” apps but it seems like CIAB isn’t specific for that purpose. And I don’t think KASM is fully Open Source anyway so not a fair comparison. There are zero limitations that I’ve seen in KASM running it on my home server. But I can completely understand them having a pricing plan for commercial use. They are a business after all.

Ither Seed what kind of storage are you using? I’m using the LVM-local for my real one and a directory mounted ext4 disk in the demo. Something is definitely wrong if you’re using that much space.

@@AllenSampsell Is not LVM-local but an M.2 SSD installed in the same machine that proxmox is. Maybe because is a zfs drive? Don't make sense. Besides that, I can't start any kasm. Firefox and Chrome say "Error: Gateway timeout"

Ither Seed you might try an actual VM on that drive and see what happens. Try a Ubuntu 20.04 and do the same things for install that makes sense. Update first then just run the install script “sudo ./install.sh -L 8443”. Don’t edit the script files or anything else. Let me know what happens. Use HD size of say 60 Gig.

Generally, LXC containers are OS, Docker containers are applications. The Scottibyte, RU-vid channel, goes into detail on this.

Hello, what is the underlying storage type that the LXC container is sitting on? i.e. EXT4/Directory based hard drive or, maybe ZFS?

@@AllenSampsell you'll have to pardon me, where can I find that information? I am still relatively new to all this haha.

@@harrydundee641 well a few ways to check. I would start with the Hardware section of the LXC itself, there will be a Hard Disk label. That's where it's at, then go to the PVE itself and go to the Disks tab. You should find the Hard Disk label in one of those sections. LVM, Directory or ZFS. Whatever you set up your storage as.

@@AllenSampsell by the look of my hardware specs, i ve got LVM

@@harrydundee641 Then I am at a loss. The only issues I've ever seen, when everything else was the same, came down to someone using ZFS where I use EXT4. Of course the container you use as a base matters for compatibility, and using the latest version of Kasm is important as well. You might try creating a VM instead of Ubuntu Server instead of the LXC and install it that way. I've moved away from LXCs and run Kasm on bare metal for a speed increase from the hardware it's on vs the older server I run Proxmox on.

I just got it working. I installed it in an LXC Container on an LVM drive (not ZFS) and it works just fine. Be sure to ignore his line numbers in his instructions to remove occurrences ot sudo in the two installer files, as the files have changed since the video was published. Just search for and replace ALL occurrences of sudo. I specifically don't know why you are having the issue, but I do know that I had major RAM, CPU, and space issues with zfs. So much so that I just gave up on zfs and reverted everything to LVM.

@@jbarr Thanks. I think ZFS is the issue. I build a VM with EXT4 and installed it with no issues. I am not using a dev build at the moment.

@@donaldwilliams6821 I think ZFS is the issue as well...

@@AllenSampsell yeah :( Seems to be. Which is too bad. I use ZFS a lot . It saved my data a few times. I am eventually going to deploy another PMX server I'll skip ZFS on that one. Thank you your videos and help

@@AllenSampsell I just built a PMX server using LVM and it worked as expected with v1.10 KASM Not sure what I am actually going to use it for but learning about cloud tech, docker, LXC, etc It's really interesting. Thanks for the video and the replies.

Lol I know that now. It’s in the other KASM video. But at the time I just assumed it wasn’t available or that it might have a negative effect. I am not a Linux expert so I have lots to learn.
