Infrastructure

For better group screen sharing, I have a shared virtual machine that we all vnc into.

Run ssh -A -L 5901:localhost:5901 52.9.218.53 and then use a VNC client of your choice (I recommend tigervnc, as that's the same version the server is running) to connect to vnc://localhost:5901 and you will be able to join a session in progress.

To start your own vnc session:

  • Make sure the server is on (I need to figure out how to give you the ability to turn on the instance))
  • ssh into the machine
  • Run vncserver :<ASINGLEDIGIT> -alwaysshared -disconnectclients=0, where ASINGLEDIGIT is either 2 for betsy or 3 for jennifer
  • run ssh -A -L 590X:localhost:590X 52.9.218.53 to forward the vnc port to your machine. (Where X is the number you used for ASINGLEDIGIT earlier)
  • Connect to vnc://localhost:590X with your VNC client of choice!

This is a bit more painful than using Zoom, but it will work on for anyone. Also we can spin up the instances processing power to GODMODE if we need to.
