K-Scale Cluster

The K-Scale Labs cluster is a shared cluster for robotics research. This page contains notes on how to access the cluster.

To get onboarded, you should send us the public key that you want to use and maybe your preferred username.

After being onboarded, you should receive the following information:

• Your user ID (for this example, we'll use stompy)
• The jumphost ID (for this example, we'll use 127.0.0.1)
• The cluster ID (for this example, we'll use 127.0.0.2)

To connect, you should be able to use the following command:

ssh -o ProxyCommand="ssh -i ~/.ssh/id_rsa -W %h:%p stompy@127.0.0.1" stompy@127.0.0.2 -i ~/.ssh/id_rsa

Note that ~/.ssh/id_rsa should point to your private key file.

Alternatively, you can add the following to your SSH config file, which should allow you to connect directly:

Host jumphost
    User stompy
    Hostname 127.0.0.1
    IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_rsa

Host cluster
    User stompy
    Hostname 127.0.0.2
    ProxyJump jumphost
    IdentityFile ~/.ssh/is_rsa
