Access requirements

  1. An NCI login with access to compute and storage resources
  • username: dbi599
  • compute/storage: I'm on r87 project, which means I should write to /local/r87/dbi599/tmp
    • Can also write to /g/data/r87/dbi599
  1. A client application that enables connection using the secure shell protocol and a VNC client application

Software solution

Install miniconda at /g/data/r87/dbi599 and use conda environments.

Long running jobs

If you go to the "TurboVNC Viewer" menu in the top left when quitting, it will give you the option of having the VM continue to run while you're logged out.

Version control

Need to use ssh (not https) when cloning.

The following seems to help with a git push ERROR: Permission to git denied to deploy key:

eval "$(ssh-agent -s)"  
ssh-add ~/.ssh/id_rsa_nci_virtuallab

Moving files to local computer

$ scp [email protected]:/g/data/r87/dbi599/figures/tauuo-zm/* .

Creating symlinks

To create a new symlink (will fail if symlink exists already):

ln -s /path/to/file /path/to/symlink

To create or update a symlink:

ln -sf /path/to/file /path/to/symlink
