Run the container locally

If you have docker installed on your local machine and would like to test/explore the virtual desktop.

Build the image

$ docker build -t $(whoami)/$(basename ${PWD}) .

Run the image

$ docker run --rm  -p 8888:8888 $(whoami)/$(basename ${PWD})

Run the container on DSMLP

If you are a UCSD student/worker and don't want to mess up with docker, you can ssh to DSMLP, our Machine Learning Cloud Platform, to try everything out.

Log into DSMLP with ssh

Please consult Google if you don't know how to set up ssh.

$ ssh <your ucsd username>@dsmlp-login.ucsd.edu # and enter your password

launch the instance

$ launch.sh -i ghcr.io/ucsd-ets/pilot-vnc-desktop:main -m 8

Note: '-m 8' specifies we will allocate 8GB of memory, which should be enough for most usage cases.
