You can test 3 minutes session here at KASM webpage.

Official overview of the solution:

Requirements for the server:

  • Linux OS – Ubuntu 18.+, Debian 9.+, CentOS 7.+, Oracle Linux 7+
  • CPU = 2 minimum
  • RAM = 4 GB minimum – depends how many user will be using it
  • HDD = 50 GB minimum

Once your server is up and running you need to execute few steps in order to install and configure the server:

sudo dd if=/dev/zero bs=1M count=1024 of=/mnt/1GiB.swap
sudo chmod 600 /mnt/1GiB.swap
sudo mkswap /mnt/1GiB.swap
sudo swapon /mnt/1GiB.swap
sudo echo '/mnt/1GiB.swap swap swap defaults 0 0' | sudo tee -a /etc/fstab
