[yt-users] using yt notebook in remote computer node

[Alex Hill]

Hi Yan-Fei,

You need to ssh to the compute node and forward the port from the compute node to the login node. This can be done by using ssh passthrough (ssh to the login node and then have the login node automatically forward your ssh connection to the compute node) on some systems; I use it routinely on pleiades.

Let me know if further details would be helpful; it was a bit finicky to set up the first time but is easy once set up.

Cheers,
 Alex

I can launch yt notebook in the login node and forward the port to my local computer so that I can view the results in my local web browser. However, when I submit an interactive job in the compute node, I can only forward the port to the login node. Do you know anyway to forward the port again to my local computer so that I can still use jupyter notebook in my web browser to look at the data?
