How to get llama 2 up and running , in a VM, with no GPU, and limited memory on Ubuntu

OK I decided to write this up after unsuccessfully being able to find all the required info I needed in one place. In this setup we will be using Ubuntu Server 22.04.2 LTS as the OS. I have this running on a home lab ESXi server 8, on a HP Compaq Pro 6300 SFF CPU = Intel Core i7-3770 Installed Memory 16 GB I have some 10K SAS drives installed for the VM's If you have not already, navigate to  Get Ubuntu Server | Download | Ubuntu and download the 22.04.2 LTS ISO Next Lets create our VM that we are going to run this in. *Note Im using ESXi however you can probably do this in Workstation, Fusion, VirtualBox etc The main things to note on the VM creation. Set Ubuntu 64 bit as the guest OS Set your CPU relevant to the physicals CPU, I will be starting with 4 VCPU Set your Memory to as much as you can tolerate, I will be using 12 Disk Space - we are creating a 100G swap file, and the rest of the file can take up some room , so more is better if you can afford it Dont forget to add the U...

Red Hat 8 as Instant Clone for Horizon View 7.11 Step By Step - Prepare the Master Template

-
Prepare the Master Template


In this part we are going to prepare the Master Template for deployment as a Instant Clone.
If you have not already , see my post about Creating the Master Template.


Now that the Master Template is created, and activated go ahead and power it back on (if not already) and either login to the VM or open an SSH session (I will be using an SSH session as it is much easier to copy and paste all the commands that we will be running)


Once you have your Shell session open, make yourself root:

#sudo su




For SSO to work with RHEL8 you have to use Gnome Classic (VMware Documentation)

Run the following command on one line:
# cd /usr/share/xsessions && mkdir backup && mv *.desktop backup && mv backup/gnome-classic.desktop ./





(Optional but recommended)
Gnome by default shows the last logged in user on the landing screen, you can some times see the last user when you connect to an Instant Clone VM. To just disable this all together run the following:


# echo [org/gnome/login-screen] > /etc/dconf/db/local.d/00-login-screen
# echo disable-user-list=true >> /etc/dconf/db/local.d/00-login-screen
# dconf update
# systemctl restart gdm


Now when you console or connect in, it should look like this:





(Optional but recommended) 
Gnome has a initial login screen, I dont feed this is useful in an instant clone environment so lets disable it:


# echo X-GNOME-Autostart-enabled=false >> /etc/xdg/autostart/gnome-initial-setup-first-login.desktop




Check that the entry was added to the file:
# cat /etc/xdg/autostart/gnome-initial-setup-first-login.desktop





Now we need to disable the virtd  adapter so we don't have multiple IP's. This requires you to install packages to simply remove it:

# yum install libvirt -y









Now disable and remove the adapter, and check that you only have one nic and a loopback:


# virsh net-destroy default 
# virsh net-undefine default
# service libvirtd restart




Next we need to install the packages that will be used to join the VM and Instant clones to the domain, and allow users to have home directories.

# yum install samba samba-client  samba-winbind samba-winbind-clients oddjob-mkhomedir tdb-tools -y







Once the packages are installed, we need to set the FQDN t name in the /etc/hosts file, this is a requirement of the View agent. Since my domain is home.lab and the VM is rhel80 I will use the following:

# echo 127.0.0.1 rhel80.home.lab rhel8 >> /etc/hosts





Now you can proceed with either setting up USB redirection (coming soon) or jumping right into installing the horizon agent:


Configure USB redirection (coming soon)

vSphere 7 - Specify a vmkernel adapter to use for NFS datastores Step By Step \ Walkthrough on a DVS

-
Image
 Recently I needed to setup a NFS server but needed it to specifically be on a specific vmkernel adapter. I found this KB https://kb.vmware.com/s/article/50112854 however there were some things missing so I decided to write this walkthrough incase it helps any one else. First thing , remove all NFS mounted datastores if you haven't already. I ran through this on 7.0.2 however is probably the same for other versions. Step 1: This is going to be on a DVS, so we want to go ahead and create a port group to silo off our NFS traffic. To make life easy, we will just call it NFS Static binding and elastic port allocation were the defaults so I let these there. If you are VLAN'ing your traffic modify this info here, and complete the wizard. Next put your host into Maintenance Mode We are going to add a New TCP/IP stack to the host. First check that you have not already created one in the UI by opening a browser to the ESXi host, navigate to networking > TCP/IP Stacks SSH into your E...

Horizon View 2-factor Authentication for Free! with Google Authenticator or others

So after quite a bit of work on my proof of concept google authenticator server, a colleague pointed out that LinOPT has already created this, along a whole slew of other options. So after spending a couple of nights reading and testing I figured id post a simple walk-through to get this up and running in your environment. As mentioned in the title this is a Free solution , however if you are wanting to scale this in a large organization you would most likely want to explore their support contracts , this is a good fall back when things just don't work and this also help the developers keep this type of software free for the rest of us. To start off we want to create 2 objects in Active Director. The first is just a standard user account LinOTP will use to connect to your domain. You can put these any where in your domain as we will access them directly later. In my case i create one called 'LinOTP Svc' and put it in the default Users OU. Next create a Global or ...
