The example here assumes shows how to connect using the browser on your local computer, and uses argon-login-1.hpc.uiowa.edu only as a specific example.

Note

For simplicity in illustrating tunnel setup, this particular example runs an instance of jupyter notebook on a login node. This arrangement is only suitable for visualizing data sets of modest size without additional processing. More generally, you should run jupyter notebook in a qlogin session on a compute node, in which case the simplest arrangement is to log into an Argon login node using FastX and use Firefox there. More elaborate arrangements are possible using more complex tunnel setup than illustrated here.

First, connect to your chosen login node:

Info

You can start the jupyter notebook in a screen or tmux session so that you can detach the terminal. See Screen and Tmux for more information.

The port number is essentially a public address which anyone can use, even unintentionally (by typo, for example). The token is like a password; it only applies to the specific notebook running there (the one you launched just now), and it prints only in your specific terminal.
