Virtual Machine with Ready-to-Install and Use APPs! Free!

 Virtual Machine with Ready-to-Install and Use APPs! Free!

Virtual Machine and Open Source Apps

Today, we're diving into two topics that I know you love: virtual machines and open-source applications. I'll demonstrate how you can install various open-source applications on your PC or any web server in a super simple and quick way, and best of all, for free!

Introducing Bitnami and VirtualBox

First off, let's talk about Bitnami, or BitNami, which is a comprehensive solution featuring pre-configured virtual machines (VMs) or applications. With Bitnami, you can run applications like WordPress, Magento, PrestaShop, Laravel, and many others on your PC for testing or learning purposes. It's not just limited to applications; you can also install frameworks like Laravel. The best part? It's all free!

Now, let's dive deeper into Bitnami. You'll need to install it on your computer and set it up with the applications you want to use. With just a few clicks, you can have a fully configured application running on localhost.

What is Bitnami and VirtualBox?

Bitnami provides developers or individuals without advanced programming knowledge a complete solution through virtual machines for local installation on your PC or servers on the internet. It offers open-source applications, frameworks, programming languages, and servers, all pre-configured and ready to use. Bitnami works in conjunction with VirtualBox, which allows you to create and manage virtual machines on your computer, regardless of your operating system.

Downloading and Running an Image on VirtualBox

To get started, you can download application images from Bitnami's website and run them on VirtualBox. Once downloaded, simply open the image file with VirtualBox, configure the settings, and launch the virtual machine. This process may take some time as it configures the VM and installs the application. Once completed, you can access the application via localhost in your web browser.

Final Thoughts

Using virtual machines and Bitnami, you can easily install and test various applications, languages, and technologies. Whether you're a developer, student, or tech enthusiast, virtual machines provide a convenient and risk-free environment for experimentation and learning.

Apologies for my voice; I'm recovering from a cold, which slowed down content creation in June. But if you want to learn more about virtual machines, VirtualBox, or Bitnami, please leave a comment! Your feedback helps me improve and tailor content to your interests. Let's keep the conversation going!


Bitnami is a powerful tool for simplifying the deployment of popular applications and platforms. With its pre-configured solutions such as application stacks, VirtualBox images, and cloud support, developers and system administrators can save time and effort by quickly getting started with applications without the need for complex setups.

In addition to application stacks, Bitnami also offers ready-to-use images for VirtualBox, a virtualization software. These images contain complete operating systems and applications, allowing you to set up a development or testing environment quickly. Simply import the image into VirtualBox and start using the desired application without worrying about complex installation and configuration.

[FIVEM] HOW TO CHANGE SERVER HUD AND LOADING SCREEN - CREATING A FIVEM SERVER

To begin, you'll need the scripts. Okay, in this case, the links we need are for the HUD clips and loading screen scripts. If you already have these scripts, you can skip ahead a bit. If not, let's teach you how to get them for free. There are various sites offering free clips, but the most reliable one is the FiveM forum. You can find the link in the description. Here, you'll find a plethora of free scripts, both paid and unpaid.

Let's start by downloading a HUD script. Click on the search bar and look for "HUD." Wait for it to load and you'll find several options. Choose one that suits your server. For example, if your server is RP, you might want to use a HUD suitable for RP servers. Select and download the HUD script.

Next, let's find a loading screen. Search for "loading screen" in the search bar again. Scroll down to find various options. Pick one that you like and download it. Once downloaded, drag both the HUD and loading screen scripts to your desktop.

Now, let's rename them. Remove any unnecessary characters from the file names. Then, let's configure the loading screen. Open the HTML file of the loading screen using a text editor like Visual Studio Code. Here, you can customize the text, such as server name, description, and Discord link. You can also add background music by placing an MP3 file in the specified folder.

Next, let's change the server logo. Locate the logo file and edit it using an image editor like Photoshop. Replace it with your desired logo and save the changes.

Now, let's configure the HUD. Open the configuration file and make any necessary adjustments, such as selecting the appropriate version for your server.

Once everything is set up, drag the HUD and loading screen folders into your server's directory, replacing any existing files if prompted.

Now, let's test our modifications. Start your server and connect to it. You should see the changes reflected in the HUD and loading screen.

If you want to further customize the loading screen, you can edit the CSS file to change colors, fonts, etc.

That's it! You've successfully changed your server's HUD and loading screen. Feel free to explore more customization options and experiment with different scripts to enhance your server's experience.

HOW TO CREATE A FREE WINDOWS VPS - HOW TO CREATE A VPS IN 2024

 HOW TO CREATE A FREE WINDOWS VPS - HOW TO CREATE A VPS IN 2024

 Let's teach you how to create a completely free VPS for a week, okay? This VPS is completely free for seven days. We want to ask if you're not subscribed to the channel to subscribe. Now, let's explain step by step. First, what's a VPS? A VPS is used for you to host your server or store files, and they are available 24/7. You don't have to store things on your own computer or host your own server because you can put everything on a VPS. You can put your game server there, host your website, and it will run forever, in quotes, during the time you pay for the service. In this case, it's seven days totally free. If you want to try an application but don't want to install it on your computer, you can install it here on the VPS and use it without any risk. The site is called "Noas." You come here to the site, and they often have stock issues because it's a free thing that goes very quickly. As you can see here, the SSDs are already sold out, so we only have Linux options left. If there's an SSD available, it's much better than an HDD, although the disk is smaller. The HDD version allows for 40 GB, which is enough for a Fire server, for example. Now, we select the only available option, which is the Windows one. We don't need to change anything else, just click "Add" below. Then it will ask us to create an account. I'll create an account using my Google email that I already created in past videos. You put in your email, continue, then put in your name, date of birth, and password. After that, you click "Create Account." After a few seconds, you'll receive an email. If it's not in your main inbox, it might be in your spam folder. Click on the link in the email to verify your email address. Once you've done that, you'll be able to download the GeForce Now app or use it through your browser. I recommend downloading the app for better performance. Once you've logged in, you can select a game and start playing. It's that simple!

NVIDIA GeForce Now: How to Play Any Game on a Weak PC for Free!

NVIDIA GeForce Now: How to Play Any Game on a Weak PC for Free!


Let's get to know a service that offers various plans, including a free plan, which, if I'm not mistaken, means that you can play games in the cloud. In other words, you can play games without installing them on your computer and without your computer's performance being affected. You simply click the button, and the game opens instantly. You are directly in the game without needing to install anything. If the game is free, you can play it for free. If the game is paid, you have to pay for it to open it.

This service I'm going to talk about today is called GeForce Now. So what do you do? You open the first site, which I'll also leave in the description, and then we go through the registration process. Click on "Sign up" and it will ask you to create an account. There are several options to create an account. Just let it load here.

While it's loading, I'll also open Google to show you. Here, for some reason, it's not loading, so we click on "GeForce Now". There are three plans: the free plan, the priority plan, and the RTX 3080 plan. The difference between these plans is as follows:

  • The free plan only has a one-hour gaming session. After that hour, you have to exit the game, as it automatically closes, and you have to re-enter the game. It's a bit annoying, but since it's free, most people don't mind.
  • The priority plan gives you a 6-hour gaming session, a resolution of 1080p at 60 FPS, and the option to activate RTX.
  • The $19.99 plan offers the highest performance, with an RTX 3080, 4K resolution at 120 FPS, and 8 hours of gaming. But all of this depends on the speed of your internet connection. If you have slow internet, it won't be able to stream at 4K 120 FPS. So it depends on your internet speed.

I'll select the free plan, and then it will take me to this screen to create an account. I'll put in my email and continue. Then I'll put in my name, date of birth, and password. After that, I'll click on "Create Account". After a few seconds, you'll receive an email. If it's not in your main inbox, it might be in your spam folder. Click on the link in the email to verify your email address.

Once you've done that, you'll be able to download the GeForce Now app or use it through your browser. I recommend downloading the app for better performance. Once you've logged in, you can select a game and start playing. It's that simple!
