SSH Access

To use the cluster you need to ask for the creation of a user account to an administrator. Once you have an account, you can connect easily using ssh.

To facilitate the ssh usage, you can copy-paste the following lines into your $HOME/.ssh/config file and replace [USER_LOGIN_NFS_DALEK] with your Monolithe login and [USER_LOGIN_NFS_LIP6] with your LIP6 login:

config

# The following lines prevent automatic ssh deconnections
Host *
    ServerAliveInterval 120
    ServerAliveCountMax 5 
    TCPKeepAlive no

Host *dalek.lip6
    User              [USER_LOGIN_NFS_DALEK]
    RequestTTY        force
    HostName          front.dalek.proj.lip6.fr

Host *dalek.lip6.ext
    ProxyJump         [USER_LOGIN_NFS_LIP6]@ducas.lip6.fr:22
# if you are external to the LIP6 you should comment the previous line and uncomment the next line
#   ProxyJump         [USER_LOGIN_GATEWAY_SPECIAL_DALEK]@ssh1.dalek.proj.lip6.fr:22

# Dalek (frontend)
# -- inside LIP6
Host              front.dalek.lip6
HostName          front.dalek.proj.lip6.fr
# -- outside LIP6
Host              front.dalek.lip6.ext
HostName          front.dalek.proj.lip6.fr

Once it is done, if you are on the LIP6 network, you can simply connect to the frontend using:

ssh front.dalek.lip6

Or, if you are not on the LIP6 network you can use:

ssh front.dalek.lip6.ext
