# Deploying DeepFreeze

Deploying DeepFreeze is as simple as running an installer. The installer can be downloaded from the
main dashboard by clicking the 'Install Cloud Agent' button.

From this page, a group should be selected, which will have an enforced policy. In this case, the 1A
group is selected which has the 'Computing' policy enforced.

This installer can be used in Lab 1A to deploy DeepFreeze. Usually we also create a batch script
which copies the installer from a memory stick to the computer, and then runs the installer. This way,
we don't need to wait for the installer to finish before we unplug the memory stick.

# Splashtop

Splashtop is the service we use for remote access to lab machines. Currently, we have a suite of machines dedicated
to run Splashtop at the front of Labs 1A and 2B (hopefully this changes in the future).

## Installing Splashtop
Splashtop is installed with an installer which can be provided by the technical resource manager. It should be
installed just prior to DeepFreeze.

## Splashtop Configuration
Splashtop machines are set up as either Windows or Ubuntu, so the boot order needs to be changed and GRUB needs
to be disabled to ensure that the machine directly boots into the desired OS.

The machine also needs to be put into the Splashtop group on DeepFreeze, which has an enforced Splashtop
policy. This policy forces the machines to restart after being idle for a pre-defined amount of time. This is useful
to make sure that people aren't AFK to reserve Splashtop machines.
