Creating a desktop

If you do not have the Yandex Cloud (CLI) command line interface yet, install and initialize it.

1. See the description of the CLI command for creating a desktop:

   yc desktops desktop create --help
   

2. Select a desktop group:

   yc desktops group list
   

   Result:

   +----------------------+------------------+--------+---------------------+
   |          ID          |       NAME       | STATUS |   CREATED (UTC-0)   |
   +----------------------+------------------+--------+---------------------+
   | e3v1rbln45tl******** | my-desktop-group | ACTIVE | 2024-10-09 20:12:00 |
   | e3v7ikg3d4ga******** | ubuntu-group     | ACTIVE | 2024-10-09 19:34:10 |

   +----------------------+------------------+--------+---------------------+
   

3. Create a desktop:

   yc desktops desktop create \
     --desktop-group-id <desktop_group_ID> \
     --user-account-id <user_ID>
   

   Where:

   • --desktop-group-id: Desktop group ID.
   • --user-account-id: Desktop user ID.

   Result:

   id: e3vmvhgbgac4********
   folder_id: b1g681qpemb4********
   desktop_group_id: e3v1rbln45tl********
