*** Install Debian

- Download Debian 12.12 LTS for the Thin Client based on the VIA Eden X2 U4200 @ 1.0+ GHz, 32bit version seemed a good option.
- Download latest version of Rufus to copy the ISO image to a USB thumb drive (32GB)
- In Rufus use the default settings and select to ISO image of Debian netinst approx. 650MB
- Boot the USB drive on the Thin Client and select graphical installation.
- For the software packages only choose Standard System Utilities and the SSH server
- Debian is then installed on the 16GB drive in the Thin Client and takes up approx. 10% of the diskspace 1.2GB

Reboot the machine. It is clear that the default of 640 x 480 pixel resolution is not correct for the 17 inch HP monitor.
- To change the resolution on boot for Grub edit the file: 

$ sudo nano /etc/default/grub

- add the following settings to this file:

GRUB_GFXMODE=1280x1024
GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD_LINUX=keep

Then update GRUB by executing:

$ sudo update-grub

*** Install NodeJS

$ sudo apt-get install nodejs

This will give an error for missing sse2 instructions, the application still works. The installation takes up approx 1% of the 16GB drive.

*** Tiny example of a webserver in nodejs, just to test the setup

let http = require('http');
http.createServer(function (req, res) {
  res.writeHead(200, {'Content-Type': 'text/plain'});
  res.end('Hello World!');
}).listen(8080);

*** Remote debugging of nodejs in browser on workstation

On Thin CLient running nodejs server:

$ node --inspect server.js

On the commandline of the workstation running the browser create a SSH-tunnel:

> ssh -L 9222:localhost:9229 user@10.0.0.1

Then in the browser open a new tabpage and type:

browser_name://inspect/#devices

From that page select the option 'inspect' to go to the source of the remote server and set the breakpoints for debugging.
