  • How do I connect using RDP?

    The web-viewer is mainly meant to be used during installation, as its picture quality is low, and it has no audio or clipboard for example.

    So for a better experience you can connect using any Microsoft Remote Desktop client to the IP of the container, using the username docker and by leaving the password empty.

    There is a good RDP client for Android available from the Play Store. One for iOS is in the Apple Store. For Linux you can use rdesktop and for Windows you don't need to install anything as it is already ships as part of the operating system.

  • How do I verify if my system supports KVM?

    To verify if your system supports KVM, run the following commands:

    sudo apt install cpu-checker
sudo kvm-ok

    If you receive an error from kvm-ok indicating that KVM acceleration can't be used, check the virtualization settings in the BIOS.
