Automatic CentOS 7 VPS Setup Script

 

Hey everyone, I set up a script that automatically does everything you need for a CentOS 7 VPS and I figured I'd release it all to you.

 

It will:

Install JDK

Install xfce (Windows Manager)

Install vncserver

Handle starting/stopping the VNC completely for you

Instruct you on how to connect using a VNC client

 

 

Installation Instructions:

1. SSH into your CentOS 7 VPS (Fresh install recommended!)
2. Type "yum -y install unzip"
3. Type "wget http://dreamlicker.co/scripts/setupDreambot.zip"
4. Type "unzip *.zip"
5. Type "sh setupDreambot.sh"

You are now in the setup script. Check out the help options if you're confused. Pressing 1 will install everything, which is what you need for a full install.

PS: The help options contain detailed information on how to use the program and how to use the VNC options.

 

Then, check out the "How to connect to VNC" option.

NOTE: Installation options need to be ran as root. Feel free to browse the script if you dont feel it is safe.

 

Post any problems you might have or any questions you have.

Hi, I did this https://i.imgur.com/HR2oW1C.png after setting up the VNC with typing 6, and choosing a password. 

 

when I try to do as explained in TightVNC it says it fails to connect, or can't connect (it's in my language, so not sure how to translate it)

 

did I do something wrong? any help is appreciated!

You need to specify the port number after your IP with two colons if you aren't doing so.

Hi I've setup my server and it all works, except there is memory leak when I use quickstart of about 10x the memory that is use without quickstart. I've tried parameters "-Xmx256m flag" but it doesn't work. I've had this problem for 2 weeks now, could anyone please support me?

This script is working flawlessly. Thank you so much for saving us all some serious time (and probably trouble).

Would anyone happen to have a mirror of this ? Sadly it wasn't hosted on Github and his website is down.
