1. Start by installing fortran & git:
   

   Code Block
   yum -y install numpy python-devel gcc-gfortran git

   
   

2. Create new system user, clone websockify and grant permissions.

   • Replace {$path} with the value set in the "Path to put websockify tokens" in HostBill connection details. In this sample we've used:  /home/websockify/target.conf.d)
     
     

     Code Block
     adduser websockify cd /home/websockify git clone https://github.com/novnc/websockify.git cd /home/websockify/websockify python setup.py install --force mkdir {$path} chmod 0777 {$path} chown -R websockify: /home/websockify

     
     

3. Create cronjob as websockify user (crontab -e -u websockify), with following line replacing variables:

   Code Block
   */5 * * * * /home/websockify/websockify/run {$console_port} --token-plugin TokenFile --token-source {$path}

   
   

   • {$path} - Value of the "Path to put websockify tokens in" field. Ensure to make it writeable to world (chmod 777)
   • {$console_port} - Port on which the console will connect. Port used internally in the webserver (ie apache) configuration, should be different than  {$port}
4. Finish by configuring your webserver. Replace :
   1. {$hostname} - Value of the "Websockify hostname" field set in steps above.
   2. {$port} - Value of the "Websockify local port" field
