The remote lab is a legacy set of hosts for general remote work. In order to connect; the UCB VPN is required.
This service is deprecated, it is recommended to use newer cloud computing resources offered by the department.
Student websites will remain but the compute nodes may be decommissioned in the future.
All active IdentiKey users on the CSCI career track have access to this service. SSH into elra.cs.colorado.edu, which consist of the following hosts running Ubuntu 20.04:
- elra-01.cs.colorado.edu
- elra-02.cs.colorado.edu
- elra-03.cs.colorado.edu
- elra-04.cs.colorado.edu
You can either SSH into the round-robin address (elra.cs.colorado.edu) or directly into a specific node. All nodes share the same home directory.
In addition, there is a separate node that runs Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.
A shell can be set globally in the IdentiKey Portal. This is /bin/bash by default.
Data Retention Policy
All data saved to your home directory is retained as long as your IdentiKey remains active (enrolled in some course) or if you have a public_html directory present.
Once you are no longer active with CU Boulder, data is retained for one academic year following your last semester. It will then be archived and no longer accessible. If you have a public_html directory, that will be retained indefinitely.
Please contact us for data retrieval requests from the archive.
