First step

After receiving your username and password for the IDIA cloud VM you are welcome to change you password by ssh'ing to jedi's VM using the code/line below.

ssh -XY username@skabigdata.idia.ac.za

Upon successful login you may change your password to the one that you are more comfortable with. This you can do by typing

passwd

You may follow the instructions that follow in changing your password

You can also login to the JupyterLab using https://skabigdata.idia.ac.za and use your username and password(Unfortunately you cannot change your password).

Groups

All users belong to a certain group and the 2 main groups are students or tutors groups:

• students : you are a student and belong to students group
• tutors : you are a tutor and you belong to the tutors group

Storage

Our VM's access to data is managed by Unix groups.

• /data/users This is the home directory
• /data/containers This contains all containers that are available
• /data/tutors This is an extra folder that tutors can use to collaborate if needed
• /data/projects This is where all project data is, it is also devided into project folders. You only have the write access to the project folder you belong to.
