Remote development (from PhpStorm with JetBrains Gateway) without internet possible?

Here is my working context;
no internet (I use my company's intranet)
Linux CentOS 7.9 remote server with my source files
PhpStorm 2021.3.2 on my development PC
My wish is to develop on my PC on remote sources. Your new JetBrains Gateway solution seems to meet my expectations on paper.
However, in practice, I have the impression that it is not possible to use this solution without internet ? Indeed, the connection process stops on this failure:
Looks like your solution is trying to download an IDE client to install on my machine. Which from my point of view is a weird behavior because I already have a client to install on my machine: PhpStorm. Why not use my PhpStorm client already installed on my machine ?
Thank you for your reply
The "Jetbrains Client" mentioned in the error message is not for your local machine, but for the Linux server:
Once the IDE version and project directory are selected, Gateway will download the IDE to the remote server, unpack it, and launch it with your project loaded.
It acts on the remote server as a "backend IDE" to which the client on your local machine connects:
The JetBrains Client runs locally and provides the user interface for the IDE backend.
You would not even require the full PHPStorm IDE, the Jetbrains Gateway is a standalone app that comes with a "thin client" that can connect to the backend IDE:
This whole process is managed by JetBrains Gateway, a new, compact, standalone app that provides everything you need to get started with remote development. Since it’s standalone, it’s the only thing you need to install locally to start working and is ideal for less powerful laptops and in cases where a full IDE install isn’t desired.
See https://blog.jetbrains.com/blog/2021/12/03/dive-into-jetbrains-gateway/ for a more detailed look at how it works.
To answer your question: it is not possible to use Jetbrains Gateway without an internet connection.

How to mount windows volume without letter in "Linux for Windows"

I have the following task:
I installed Linux for Windows in Windows 10 Pro computer;
I installed Ubuntu 18.04 LTS;
I have a separate volume in Windows computer, which doesn't have a drive letter assigned to it;
I need to find a way to mount this Windows volume without letter in WSL Ubuntu.
I know the volume id in case it is required.
Any ideas how to achieve this?
Thx, Vlad.
First of all, my question wasn't completely right, I wrote Linux for Windows but in fact I was talking about "Windows Subsystem for Linux".
The idea is to have 1 disk drive as hardware configured RAID 0 storage which is built with 2x Samsung SSD 1Tb. But for protection of data on RAID 0, I want to use HDD which will sync data with rsync or any cloud service. I selected ownCloud.
Finally, I want to hide the HDD from the system and configure WSL to use it.
Hereby how it works for me:
1) I created a folder here: c:\Users\Public\wsl
2) I mounted the HDD in the folder created above.
3) After the HDD is mounted, I created a subfolder for my favorite Linux distribution: c:\Users\Public\wsl\ubuntu
4) I installed Ubuntu 18.04 in this folder as it described here: Installing WSL on Windows 10 without MS Store
5) The point above allows to install ownCloud server on hidden HDD. Now, in order to get it running at system boot, one can create scripts as described here: how to autoload apache2 and mysql in WSL at Windows boot
6) And finally, to get ownCloud Server running at system boot, even before any user login, one needs to do as follows:
*) Open Windows task scheduler;
*) add a task which runs autostart.sh (see how to make this script on a link above) on system boot;
*) use wscript.exe (from windows system32) as the command to run and the vbs script as parameter. Check this link if you need more details;
7) Finally, we need to setup ownCloud client on the computer and connect it with the server by using http://localhost as the server url.
So, as result of this setup, one gets faster disk system based on 2x SSH configured in RAID 0 and to protect data, one uses a local cloud server in virtual machine to get personal content synchronized with standard HDD.
If the system uses actively SSD, the cloud won't get time for syncing data. But as soon as resources are available, system will sync data in background mode into the HDD, which requires more time to write the same data.
This setup allows to use SSD system at full speed as it is required by applications and it does not limit dramatically the performance of SSD subsystem while keep syncing data in slow HDD as computer resources are available and SSD resources are available.

ovirt engine and host setup issue

I am using 2 computers and both are running fedora 23. In computer A I have installed ovirt engine 4.0 and in computer B I installed ovirt node 4.0.3 on a virtual machine manager and both the computer are in a same network.
When I login to the engine admin account using web interface, I tried to setup a host, but always gives error as install failed as shown below, any idea whats going wrong here?
Engine Host setup error picture
I thought it might be due to node storage issue, I tried to setup a node shared storage, again it gives error. Can anyone help how to setup a shared storage for node?
Node storage setup issue
in the lower panel you can see a message telling you that it failed to verify power management configuration.
You can see more messages if you'll go to the events tab.
For full details you can check the host installation log.

IBM Process Center didn't get installed while installing Process Server

I have installed IBM Process Server but there is no Process Center installed. I need to download Process Designer once Process Center is in place. But for some reasons I am unable to find Process Center. I tried to create a profile from a response file but that is failing. I guess while creating the process center profile all the artifacts like DB2 databases, etc will be installed. I don't know how to explain but if my question is understood then please do help.
Thanks,
IID install media contains a cut down version of the IBM Process Manager Advanced server runtime. This runtime can create a Process Server profile only. There is no way to create a Process Center profile. This seems rather odd, since, Process Center is something that is used mainly in the development world. If you must use Process Center from IID, take these steps:
Install IID without any test environment.
Install IBM Process Manager and choose to create a Process Center profile at the time of installation. This is the quickest way to create a fully functional server runtime.
From IID, create a server of type IBM Process Server v7.5. Point to the directory where IBM Process Manager was installed (C:\IBM\BPM\v7.5 by default).

Adobe AIR Extension for Dreamweaver fails to connect to timestamp server

I'm having issues with creating an AIR file from an Adobe AIR HTML/JavaScript project.
I've installed the Adobe AIR Extension for Dreamweaver CS5.5 and I also have the latest x86 version of the Java Development Kit installed (which should include the Java Runtime Environment). I'm using Windows 7 (x64).
After self-signing a digital certificate through the extension, I attempted to build the project into an AIR file. However, I encountered this dialog:
There was an error connecting to the timestamp server. You may not have a connection to the network, or the server itself may have a problem.
Click Retry to try again.
Click Disable to create the AIR file with timestamping temporarily disabled. If you disable timestamping, the AIR application will fail to install when the digital certificate expires.
I checked my proxy settings in both the Java control panel and Internet Explorer, but nothing should interfere with Dreamweaver's connection. I also disabled Windows Firewall and tried another network connection, both to no avail.
After some research, I found a suggestion stating that the Geotrust timestamp server may be temporarily down. Despite this, the error still persists after I've waited a day.
Can somebody help me resolve this problem? Thanks.
I found the solution.
Java SE version 7 was installed on my computer, but version 6 was the latest version supported by the Adobe AIR tools. I downgraded to version 6 and the timestamp generation went smoothly.
