Remote Server Cheatsheet

Jupyter Notebook

Login your remote server.
```
ssh username@server
```
Create a remote Jupyter notebook on the server.
```
jupyter notebook --no-browser --port=8080
```
Alternatively, you can define a macro in your configuration file .bashrc on the remote server.
```
function nb(){
    jupyter notebook --no-browser --port=8080
 }
```
Open a new local terminal and connect to the remote Jupyter notebook
```
ssh -L 8080:localhost:8080 username@server
```
Open https://localhost:8080 in your browser.

SSH

It is quite tedious to repeat above commands every time. Here’s how you can configure your own SSH profile to make it easier to connect to your remote server:

Add the following profile to your .ssh/config file.

Host myhost
    Hostname server
    User username
    Port myport
    LocalForward 8080 localhost:8080

Connect and listen to the remote server simply through ssh myhost.

Tmux

Tmux is a “terminal multiplexer”, it enables a number of terminals (or windows) to be accessed and controlled from a single terminal.

Install Tmux Plugin Manager and Tmux Resurrect.
Start a new session with the name mysession.
```
tmux new -s mysession
```
Save a session by Ctrl-b + Ctrl-s and restore a session by Ctrl-b + Crtl-r.
Show all sessions.
```
tmux list-session
```
Kill session mysession.
```
tmux kill-session -t mysession
```
