code-server (VSCode in the browser)

Using a code-server on SSRDE

module load code-server

Once the module is loaded, start your server:

code-server

After entering the "code-server" command, you will need to find the port number from the output to be able to configure your SSH tunnel. From the above example, the port is 8080. Also, you will need to obtain the password in ~/.config/code-server/config.yaml

Setting up SSH tunnel to SSRDE

On Mac, use a new Terminal to create the SSH tunnel by following this format:

ssh -L <port>:localhost:<port> <username>@remoteServer.ucsd.edu

From the previous example, my command would be:

ssh -L 8080:localhost:8080 sscf-silas@ssrde.ucsd.edu

Connecting to your code-server session

After the SSH tunnel connection is created, you can now connect to your Jupyter notebook from your local Mac's web browser. In your favorite web browser, enter http://localhost:<port> command output into the address bar.

From the previous example, the URL that I paste into my address bar is: http://localhost:8080
