Get an account on IFB core cluster and create a project

We highly recommend to first read at least the Quick Start of the cluster documentation.

  • To ask for an account you have to go to my.cluster.france-bioinformatique.fr, click on create an account and fill the form. You will then shortly receive an email to activate your account.
  • Once your account is active, you have to connect to my.cluster.france-bioinformatique.fr/manager2/project in order to create a new project. You will then receive an email when it’s done (few hours usually).
  • [Facultative] If your data are not sensitive and you encounter difficulties, you can give Magali access to your project by adding the user mhennion on the project manager webpage. You can remove it anytime.

Connect to IFB core cluster

You can connect to IFB server either via ssh or using the Jupyter Hub from IFB, which facilitates a lot file navigation.

Easy connection : use the Jupyter Hub!

You can connect to IFB Jupyter Hub and enter your login and password. On the left pannel, you can navigate to your project (/shared/projects/YourProjectName).

SSH connection

You can also use your terminal and type the following command replacing username by your IFB username.

You@YourComputer:~/PathTo/RNAseqProject$ ssh -o "ServerAliveInterval 10" -X username@core.cluster.france-bioinformatique.fr

You will have to enter your password, and then you’ll be connected to your home directory. Here you can run small tests, but everything related to a specific project should be done in the corresponding folder. Once your project is created you can access it on IFB core cluster at /shared/projects/YourProjectName.
