Tips and tricks

Connecting to a remote swimpy brower interface

The swimpy browser interface is using a local development server. If swimpy is running on a remote (e.g. the cluster) you can still access it locally like this:

# log into remote with port forwarding
$ ssh -v -L 8000:localhost:8000 <username>@cluster.pik-potsdam.de
# start the swimpy browser on the remote
$ swimpy browser start

Then navigate to http://localhost:8000 in your local browser.
