• A system with Debian 11 installed and running.

• root access to the system.

• Let's Encrypt SSL installed, for this, you can refer to one of our guides on installing Let's Encrypt SSL on Debian.

• Docker installed and running, for this, you can refer to one of our guides on installing Docker on Debian 11.

• LEMP Stack installed and running, for this, you can refer to one of our guides on installing LEMP Stack (Nginx, MariaDB, and PHP).

Once you're all set, we'll proceed with Screego installation and configuration.

Install Screego

---

Let us begin with starting docker container, and you are ready to go. Install screego using the below command

docker run --net=host -e SCREEGO_EXTERNAL_IP=CROWNCLOUD_EXTERNAL_IP screego/server:1.5.2

Replace CROWNCLOUD_EXTERNAL_IP with your external IP address.

Configuring Nginx vHost

---

Create a new Nginx configuration file dev2.domainhere.info.conf for the domain with the following command:

vi /etc/nginx/sites-available/dev2.domainhere.info.conf

Add the following codes:

Change dev2.domainhere.info with Your Domain Name and Change SSL Path according to your SSL Path.

 upstream screego {

# Set this to the address configured in

# SCREEGO_SERVER_ADDRESS. Default 5050

  server 192.169.7.180:5050;
  }

 server {
  listen 80;

# Here goes your domain / subdomain

  server_name dev2.domainhere.info;

  listen 443 ssl; # managed by Certbot
  ssl_certificate /etc/letsencrypt/live/dev2.domainhere.info/fullchain.pem; # managed by Certbot
  ssl_certificate_key /etc/letsencrypt/live/dev2.domainhere.info/privkey.pem; # managed by Certbot
  include /etc/letsencrypt/options-ssl-nginx.conf; # managed by Certbot
  ssl_dhparam /etc/letsencrypt/ssl-dhparams.pem; # managed by Certbot

 location / {

# Proxy to screego

  proxy_pass         <http://screego>;
  proxy_http_version 1.1;

# Set headers for proxying WebSocket

  proxy_set_header   Upgrade $http_upgrade;
  proxy_set_header   Connection "upgrade";
  proxy_redirect     http:// $scheme://;

# Set proxy headers

  proxy_set_header   X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
  proxy_set_header   X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
  proxy_set_header   X-Forwarded-Proto http;

# The proxy must preserve the host because screego verifies it with the origin

# for WebSocket connections

  proxy_set_header   Host $http_host;
 }
 }

Now, press the Esc key, and type in :wq! and press the Enter key to save and exit the file.

Now, restart & check the Nginx with the following commands:

systemctl restart nginx

systemctl status nginx

Enable Firewall:

ufw allow 5050/tcp

ufw allow 80/tcp

ufw allow 443/tcp

Start using Screego

---

Now open the domain name from your browser, this will redirect you to the Screego application.

https://dev2.domainhere.info

Replace the dev2.domainhere.info with the actual IP or domain configured on the server.
