I mostly followed the instructions for getting on one on Hydra (https://confluence.si.edu/display/HPC/Running+Jupyter+on+Hydra), but I'm just going to record it here too so that I have a streamlined version for this new machine I'm working on. I also put these instructions into a notebook on this machine, but that's not a very good solution for actually using it, so, I'll duplicate here too.
I need to make sure I have an environment activated that has Jupyter Lab, obviously, or this whole thing won't work.
mamba activate ml_env
Then I run this command to launch the thing, although if I already have a jupyter notebook running locally, I should change the port to something else.
jupyter lab --no-browser --ip=hostname --port=8888 Note that this will not run as is, because markdown takes the necessary puctuation marks away. Better to double click and use the commands from inside the cell.
Next, in a terminal tab on my local computer, I run this command and enter my password when prompted.
ssh -N -L 8888:boxx:8888 [email protected]
And finally, I go to this site: http://localhost:8888. It will prompt me for a token, and I enter the token that the notebook gave me in the boxx window when I ran the jupyterlab command. It should be in a line like this http://boxx:8888/lab?token=235a1e53f67b8a3b46eb74a9a82eb92b3b8f910d2ab316df, so just the last part is what I need. I could set up a password too, but honestly it's not that big of a deal to enter this, so that's how I'm going to do it for now.
