Install guide by venomfufu

Here is a very detailed install guide thanks to venomfufu. It uses Ubuntu 16.04 which has had problems with setting up the database root user. Using this guide you may have more luck but this should be equally relevant used with Ubuntu 14.04 or Debian. I don't use other Linux distros but you should be able to follow this guide so long as your distro of choice has all the necessary software available in its repos.

Good luck! xD

HOWTO install 7d2d Game Server using LGSM On Ubuntu Server with Graphic environment + Botman (Thx To SmegZor) + Irc Server + Lounge Interface

1) Install Ubuntu Server 16.04 "Xenial Xerus" LTS (64bits)

2) Log in SSH with Putty on Server (151.80.47.167)

3) *** System restart required ***
sudo reboot
Log in SSH again

4) Update Server:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade

5) Create dedicated account (supervisor) with sudo (root) privileges:
adduser supervisor (NewPassword asked)
usermod -aG sudo supervisor

Note: If you don't have sudo installed follow these steps:
open a terminal and type,
apt-get install sudo

Log out from root and log in with supervisor / NewPassword created

6) Instal the Desktop Environment and VNC Server:
sudo apt-get install nano xfce4 xfce4-goodies tightvncserver

Set up a secure password on vncserver. Make sure to set a vnc number higher than 1 and less than 99. Don't use 1 or 99 as these are targetted by script kiddies.
vncserver :10
Enter a vncpassword

7) Configuring the VNC Server:
vncserver -kill :10
mv ~/.vnc/xstartup ~/.vnc/xstartup.bak
nano ~/.vnc/xstartup
Paste this (remove ""):
"#!/bin/bash
xrdb $HOME/.Xresources
startxfce4 &"

Save and close the file.

sudo chmod +x ~/.vnc/xstartup

8) Creating a VNC Service File:
sudo nano /etc/systemd/system/[email protected]
Paste this (remove ""):
"[Unit]
Description=Start TightVNC server at startup
After=syslog.target network.target

[Service]
Type=forking
User=supervisor
PAMName=login
PIDFile=/home/supervisor/.vnc/%H:%i.pid
ExecStartPre=-/usr/bin/vncserver -kill :%i > /dev/null 2>&1
ExecStart=/usr/bin/vncserver -depth 24 -geometry 1280x800 :%i
ExecStop=/usr/bin/vncserver -kill :%i
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target"

Save and close the file.

sudo systemctl daemon-reload
sudo systemctl enable This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.
sudo vncserver -kill :1
sudo systemctl start vncserver@1>;

Test your remote connection:
Open Putty, put IP Server on the destination field
On left options, go to Connections/SSH and Click on "Tunnels"
Put these informations:
Source POrt: "5901"
Destination: "localhost:5901"
Click ADD
Now save putty profile and click open
Connect with supervisor / password
Open VNC Viewer (RealVNC) and make a new connection:
VNC Server: "localhost:5901"
Name: What you want
Connect ! When asked, put the vncpassword created earlier
You are now connected on your server with Desktop environment !
