Shell Access is a web-based terminal available in the Apps Portal. It gives you a bash shell on one of the login nodes straight from your browser.
For day-to-day work, logging in over SSH from a terminal on your own computer is the recommended way to get a shell — it is faster, more capable, and not subject to the browser limitations noted below. Use the web terminal as a convenient alternative when you cannot set up an SSH client, for example on a machine where you are not able to install one.
Getting started
- Go to https://apps.anunna.wur.nl/.
- Open Shell Access (from the All Applications menu, or the Featured Apps shortcuts).
- A bash session on a login node opens in your browser.
You can choose a colour theme for the terminal from the top-right corner of the screen.
Notes
- If the session times out, refresh the browser tab and it should reconnect.
- Because the terminal runs in a browser, some bash keyboard shortcuts may not work as expected — for example
Ctrl + W, which the browser may intercept. - Like any login-node session, this is for light, interactive use only. Run real work through the scheduler; see Scheduler Overview (Slurm).
