About the Einstein Toolkit School Workbench
The NDS Labs Workbench is a general-purpose platform for launching applications via Docker images. For the Einstein Toolkit School, the Workbench supports a single Jupyter image with the Einstein Toolkit dependencies. You can view the Dockerfile or access the image via Dockerhub.
There are a few things you should know about Docker containers:
Each user will be given an account at the workshop. You should not need to register for an account to access the system.
The Catalog contains the list of applications available on the system. The File Manager allows you to easily copy data or manage files stored on Workbench. The Jupyter/Einstein Toolkit application is a customized Jupyter SciPy notebook with the dependencies required to compile and experiment with the Einstein Toolkit software. Select "Add" to add an instance of the application to your dashboard.
The Applications page contains the list of configured and/or running applications in your account. For the Workshop, you will likely have a single Jupyter application running. From the Applications page you can:
In the Workbench system, each user has a home directory. This home directory is mapped to /home/jovyan/work in the Jupyter application and also available under /home/<user>. Files stored in these two directories will be preserved across container restarts and accessible from other applications in Workbench.
