  • Highly Sensitive Data Transfer with Globus

    Login In to Globus and Choose Ivy Collection
    Disconnect your High Security VPN – it will interfere with the high security network that Globus uses. Open https://www.globus.org/ and sign in through the University of Virginia using NetBadge. Once you are on the Transfer Files page, at the first “Collection” type ivy to search. Find the uva#ivy-DTN collection and select it. You will then be asked to authenticate. Once signed in, simply click through the names of your shares until you find the source or destination for your file transfers. Navigate to Your Personal Collection
    In another pane repeat the process of searching for a collection, but use the name of your personal collection.

  • Docker - The Basics

    Note that Docker requires sudo privilege and therefore it is not supported on the HPC system. To use a Docker image you will need to convert it into Apptainer. More information can be found here on our website.
    What Is Docker? “Docker is a set of platform-as-a-service (PaaS) products that use OS-level virtualization to deliver software in packages called containers. Containers are isolated from one another and bundle their own software, libraries and configuration files; they can communicate with each other through well-defined channels. All containers are run by a single operating-system kernel and are thus more lightweight than virtual machines.
