===== Connect to Server PC =====

==== Locally ====

We can connect from **server PC itself**, if keyboard, mouse and monitor are available. 

From **server PC** via browser 
  * We connect with username **user** on LXDE graphical environment.
  * We start firefox
  * From Bookmarks we select address **https://hosta:8006** 
  * We connect as **root**
  * On the left pane we select **Datacenter** and we double click on **hosta**

Here we can see the running virtual machines.

We will talk later on their functionality and how to start, restart and shutdown these virtual machines.
 
==== From another PC on local network ====

We can also connect from any PC on local network. The PC can be running 
  - Linux or Windows **local installation** or
  - boot from network as a **thin client** 

<note>We prefer **1st option** so that we can shutdown or restart any virtual machines if needed (on a thin client connection would be lost if we restart the virtual machine we are working remotely to). </note>

We connect to a PC with **our own account** or if we don't have one yet, we connect as user **teacher**

  * We open a browser **(firefox is recommended)** and on the address we type **https://hosta:8006** 
  * We connect as **root**

==== From Internet ====

We can also connect via Internet from anywhere. We should know the **internet address** of the server and the **external port** of **shellinabox**.

For example if server internet address is **myinternetaddress.com** and external port is **18006** we connect as follow
  * We open a browser **(firefox is recommended)** and on the address we type **http://myinternetaddress.com:18006**
