Set Up a Linux System

Let's get started:

1. Sign into the Remote.It portal https://app.remote.it
‍

2. Click "+" (add device) and select "Linux", copy the generated code and paste it into your SSH console of your Linux system (see image below).

3. Set up services
The Remote.It web portal will notify you that your Linux system has been registered and automatically detect and set up SSH access.

If you have additional services/ports you would like to set up for Remote.It access, click "+" (Add Service) on the device detail. Make sure that the service is running on your Linux system. Provide a name, port, and service host address (Defaults are provided for most services). Only override default ports if you have assigned a different port for this service on your Linux system.

Repeat for all the services you would like to access remotely.
‍

4. Connect
Select the service you would like to create a Remote.It connection to and click "Connect". You can now use this connection address in the application such as terminal, VNC viewer or a browser (see image below). When you are done with the connection, click "Stop Connection".
