Instructions for first time logon to devbox:

  1. Log on to university VPN at vpn.emory.edu (see Instructions for VPN access)
  2. Visit devbox.emory.edu and type in your username. Choose a password by typing it directly into the password field. This will become your password for future sessions

Message @hari or @gichoya once this is complete and I will create symlinks to the data directories within your home directory

Key points:

  • You only have write access to your home directory which is /home/jupyter-<username> . Please ensure your notebooks are in this folder.
  • You do not have write access to your symlinked data directories, even though jupyter-hub will let you create a notebook in these directories, your notebook will not be saved.
  • You can launch a terminal by clicking New-->Terminal in the top right corner of the Jupyter Hub home screen.
  • You can only install packages by using pip install --user <package> or pip3 install --user <package> . Your account will not have permission to install global packages.
  • Your account does not come with SSH access, so you will not be able to SSH into the box using your jupyter-hub username and password. If you do need to SSH in please contact @Hari or @gichoya.
