Although Argon is unsuitable for providing a full JupyterHub installation, you can run a Jupyter notebook on an Argon compute node and connect a web browser to it. This connection requires creating a network path, consisting of at least one SSH tunnel, between the compute node system running your notebook and the computer system running the web browser. If you want Thus to use a browser running on your local computer, then one end of the tunnel needs to be on your computer.
The required SSH software and configuration are typically present on Linux and Mac workstations/notebooks by default, so the instructions on this page describing tunnel configuration should function there without additional configuration. A variation commonly used on Windows systems is also shown. The instructions on this page for selecting a Python environment , using the scheduler to request a compute node, and running jupyter are tailored specifically for specific to the Argon HPC system.
For most Argon use, it's typical to connect to "argon.hpc.uiowa.edu", resulting in a login session on whichever of Argon's login nodes least recently served a new connection. However, to configure the tunnel for your jupyter notebook connection, you must ensure you consistently connect to the same login node in multiple steps. Therefore, for each connection you should use the "true" name one of Argon's login nodes instead of "argon.hpc.uiowa.edu":
