                ~Parsec Self Hosted Cloud Setup Script~

This script sets up your cloud computer with a bunch of settings and drivers to make your life easier.

It's provided with no warranty, so use it at your own risk.

Then fill in the details on the next page.

Instructions:

1. Set up your GPU accelerated cloud machine on Microsoft Azure, Amazon AWS, Google Cloud or Paperspace.
2. Azure, AWS, Google: Log in via RDP and make note of the password - you'll need it later - Paperspace: Connect via Paperspace web app.
3. Open Powershell on the cloud machine.
4. Copy the below code and follow the instructions in the script - you'll see them in RED

This tool supports:

OS:

Server 2016
Server 2019

CLOUD SKU:

AWS G3.4xLarge (Tesla M60)
AWS G2.2xLarge (GRID K520)
AWS G4dn.xLarge (Tesla T4 with vGaming driver)
Azure NV6 (Tesla M60)
Paperspace P4000 (Quadro P4000)
Paperspace P5000 (Quadro P5000)
Google P100 VW (Tesla P100 with Virtual Workstation Driver)
Google P4 VW (Tesla P4 with Virtual Workstation Driver)
Google T4 VW (Tesla T4 with Virtual Workstation Driver)

RDP:

Only use RDP to intially setup the instance. Parsec and RDP are not compatible (especially if you use RDP to log in). The Parsec UI will not be visible to you if you use RDP to log in, unless you open Parsec Service Manager located on the desktop. Always use the auto logon tool to make the machine log in automatically, and use VNC/Teamviewer for management if required.

VNC:

AWS, Azure and Google machines will be automatically installed with VNC for troubleshooting purposes. VNC runs with elevated privileges and is able to function in certain situations where Parsec cannot. VNC uses port TCP 5900 (which you will need to manually enable in your instance security group settings), and has a default password of 4ubg9sde. If you open port 5900, make sure to only allow connections to port 5900 from your IP, and change the default password immediately on login — please do these two things. It’s a major security risk if you don’t.

Issues:

Q. Stuck at 24%
A. Keep waiting, this installation takes a while.

Q. Parsec won't open
A. Use Parsec Service Manager on the desktop to open and sign into Parsec.

Q. My cloud machine is stuck at 1366x768
A. You should delete your machine and use the GRID Virtual Workstation variety provided by your cloud provider (it's a check box on GCP)

Q. I made a mistake when adding my AWS access key or I want to remove it on my G4DN Instance
A. Open Powershell and type Remove-AWSCredentialProfile -ProfileName GPUUpdateG4Dn - This will remove the profile from the machine.

Q. What about GPU X or Cloud Server Y - when will they be supported?
A. That's on you to test the script and describe the errors you see.
