Open OnDemand Sandbox
https://docs.rc.uab.edu/
Please use the new documentation url https://docs.rc.uab.edu/ for all Research Computing documentation needs.
As a result of this move, we have deprecated use of this wiki for documentation. We are providing read-only access to the content to facilitate migration of bookmarks and to serve as an historical record. All content updates should be made at the new documentation site. The original wiki will not receive further updates.
Thank you,
The Research Computing Team
Open OnDemand is a web interface to Cheaha HPC resources. We have setup multiple general purpose apps, such as HPC Desktop, Jupyter, RStudio etc, on cheaha, to make the process of accessing these basic softwares easier. OnDemand also allows users to setup their own personal apps in the OnDemand, as sandbox apps.
Setting up sandbox for your profile
Setting up sandbox is pretty simple and straightforward.
- You need to create a dev folder in your DATA_USER/ondemand folder
mkdir -p /data/user/$USER/ondemand/dev
- Then go to Cheaha OnDemand , login, and under Help, click on Restart Web Server
- You have successfully enabled sandbox for your environment, and you should see a new Develop tab.
