Install NoMachine

Download and install NoMachine on your computer and the remote devices you want to connect to.

NoMachine will allow you to login to the remote edge device from your computer.

Install OpenVPN

Download and install the OpenVPN CloudConnexa on the remote host. The cloud VPN is free for upto 3 connections. You can then connect to the remote host from your computer using the OpenVPN Client.

How to connect?

On your computer turn on the OpenVPN client. You will now be on the same network as the remote hosts. You can use NoMachine to login to the remote devices and operate them.

Tips

  • Disable the display manager on the edge device to allow NoMachine to connect remotely even when the computer is not connected to a display.
sudo systemctl set-default multi-user # set default as terminal
sudo systemctl set-default graphical # set default as GUI
sudo systemctl start gdm3 # start gdm3 display manager
sudo systemctl stop display-manager # stop all display managers

  • On the edge device Enable Power On after power loss in BIOS setting. Press F1 to enter BIOS and check Power settings to make sure the system turns on when powered by a power strip after loss of power.

  • You can use the scripts to start all the hub services when the edge device is restarted.
