Services

We self-host some services that you can use.

Coder

Coder is a web app that provides access to development environments running in Docker containers. This can be a convenient way to set up an environment for some specialized tasks. It runs physically on Patty, so it's got access to a good amount of compute. In particular, there's a pre-existing template you can use to make a container for CUDA development if you're having issues on your own machine or if you don't have an Nvidia GPU.

More detailed instructions on general use and configuring CUDA will be available here soon. If you have a question or what some guidance right now, send an email.

Authentication

These services are all accessed via an SSO login distinct from your normal Reed credentials. You can test your login (from a device on the Reed network) by logging into Polly over the web. Your username and password for this SSO system is the same as that which you'd use to log in to Polly over SSH.¹

1. This isn't strictly true right now. If you change your password, you'll need to ping a CSTAR member (for now, Tali) to get everything to work. I (Tali) will make this automatic soon! ↩
