| 1 | +# Computing on Jean-Zay at IDRIS |
| 2 | + |
| 3 | +[IDRIS](http://www.idris.fr/docs/idris/missions) |
| 4 | +is the national computing center of the CNRS. |
| 5 | +Most information on the Jean-Zay machine can be found |
| 6 | +on the [Jean-Zay webpage at IDRIS](http://www.idris.fr/docs/jean-zay/nouvel-utilisateur/). |
| 7 | +The following gives only a brief summary of useful commands and procedures. |
| 8 | + |
| 9 | +## Getting an account |
| 10 | + |
| 11 | +Resources on the machine can be obtained by submitting a project to [eDARI](https://www.edari.fr/). |
| 12 | + |
| 13 | +A new account must be associated to one or more existing projects that received a resource allocation. |
| 14 | +Usually, new users join an existing project in IGE. |
| 15 | +This is achived by following the procedure described in the |
| 16 | +[eDARI portal](https://www.edari.fr/documentation/index.php/Documentation_compl%C3%A8te#ModalitesAccesCalculateurs). |
| 17 | +This requires filling forms with several information |
| 18 | +(personnal information, IP adresses of connections,...), |
| 19 | +and getting approved by the IGE direction and IT department. |
| 20 | + |
| 21 | +A good practice is to provide at least two IP adresses to secure the connections, |
| 22 | +as for instance, the IP address of your personnal desktop, |
| 23 | +and at least one secured IGE server (one which is always alive). |
| 24 | + |
| 25 | +## Connecting to Jean-Zay |
| 26 | + |
| 27 | +You can only connect from one of the IP address provided to IDRIS. |
| 28 | + |
| 29 | +To connect by SSH through an IGE proxy server, |
| 30 | +edit the SSH configuration file (`~/.ssh/config`) to include: |
| 31 | + |
| 32 | +``` |
| 33 | +Host ige-proxy |
| 34 | + HostName address_of_the_IGE_proxy |
| 35 | + User your_IGE_user_name |
| 36 | +
|
| 37 | +Host jean-zay |
| 38 | + ProxyJump ige-proxy |
| 39 | + HostName jean-zay.idris.fr |
| 40 | + User your_IDRIS_user_name |
| 41 | +``` |
| 42 | + |
| 43 | +You can then connect to Jean-Zay with the command: |
| 44 | + |
| 45 | +``` |
| 46 | +ssh jean-zay |
| 47 | +``` |
| 48 | + |
| 49 | +Then you can share SSH keys (with the proxy and jean-zay) |
| 50 | +to avoid giving your password at each connection. |
