How to request access to the platform#

To get access to the platform you need to perform these operations:

• Request access to the VPN
• Request access to the cluster

Request access to the VPN#

- unibo credential users#

If you are owner of a unibo credential you can directly request access to the VPN by sending an email to ciro.barbone@unibo.it. When you will be granted access you will receive an email with the instructions to connect to the VPN.

Then, you can access the Portainer dashboard at https://andromeda.apice.unibo.it, where you can login with your unibo credential and run your experiments.

- studio.unibo credential users#

If you have a studio.unibo account, you must contact your supervisor that will request access to the VPN for you. When you will be granted access you will receive an email with the instructions to connect to the VPN.

You'll not be able to directly access the Portainer Dashboard with your credential, your supervisor will provide you with a container on which you'll be able to access through its web service (or ssh service, depending on the container configuration).

Request access to the cluster#

After you are granted to use the VPN, you can access the Portainer dashboard at https://andromeda.apice.unibo.it, however, you will not be able to see any cluster. Cluster administrators will give you permission to access the appropriate cluster and will give you a persistent volume on which to save your experiments' results.
