Server/client setup on AWS using Xvfb

I'm solving some openfoam models on AWS EC2 instances, which in general is working well, but it's a pain to visualise what's going on.
Currently I've got the case directory mounted via sshfs; in principle I can point a paraview instance at this filesystem, but it's super slow. This just feels like completely the wrong approach. I've tried various things to get the server/client architecture working. I've got Ubuntu 20.04 on both my local (virtual) machine and the EC2 server. I've got the ubuntu version of paraview on both - the versions match, and trying to compile the source included with OFv1912 was causing me pain. I've got ssh tunnelling all sorted, and am getting the connection started, but can't get the rendering to work. I think that I should be able to invoke Code:
xvfs-run pvserver Can anyone suggest how to get paraview to play nicely with EC2 servers? Thanks, Mike |

Well it turns out that the problem isn't one with the network setup - during an update to bring the two versions in-line I've just broken my paraview installation. It doesn't render anything even run on local data...
---- I got this all fixed, for anyone who finds this in the future here is the synopsis:
