Visually Remote Into a Linux Instance Using an NVIDIA GPU for GUI/ Application Rendering
Nov 2 · 1 min read
I’m currently working on a project that necessitates me to visually remote into a headless AWS Ubuntu instance and utilize the Tesla M60 GPU for various visual/rendering tasks.
There is a particular way you need to setup your instance in order to simulate a non-existent screen that your GPU will actually render towards. So, here are the steps needed to setup your instance to effectively do this (this assumes a fresh instance):
Overall it’s pretty simple, but it took some experimentation to get everything properly working together.
Cheers!
