Node, Rabbit, Ubuntu Tech POC

For the machine hosting Node.js and RabbitMQ, I am using Ubuntu Linux 12.04 LTS Server 32-bit.  Here are the high level configuration steps:


  1. Download and install Ubuntu (http://www.ubuntu.com/download/server) on the target machine.
  2. Install the Gnome Classic desktop.
  3. Configure a static IP address for your server...I found this link helpful:
    https://help.ubuntu.com/12.04/serverguide/network-configuration.html
  4. Configure VNC...this link was helpful:

  5. Configure FTP...this link was helpful:

  6. Install Node.js...here's the link:

  7. Install RabbitMQ:
  8. Secure the server:

That's about it ...

And at this point it cannot be accessed from the internet...only on the LAN.
