The next Tips and Tricks call is in on Thursday, Jan 4th, at 1pm ET. Simon Westersund from the Finnish CSC will go over their deployment of Open OnDemand on LUMI.
CSC is hosting Europe’s largest supercomputer LUMI, and last November LUMI’s web interface was opened, based on Open OnDemand. This presentation shows how CSC develops and deploys OOD on three discrete supercomputers, using Podman as the underlying technology, to be able to align the setup between the clusters as much as possible. The presentation will discuss the pros and cons, as well as a few gotchas with deploying OOD inside containers.
Two teams collaborate on the OOD development. The Computing Environments team improves the experience of using OOD at CSC, while collaborating with the Computing Platforms team, who operate the clusters, and manage the deployment. Tight cooperation is required to be able to integrate with other CSC systems, and enable a user-friendly interface to the supercomputers. The presentation will demonstrate how CSC’s setup ensures that productive development is enabled, while maintaining stability in production.
This Thursday 2/1, is the first of the month of February, which means the next Tips and Tricks call, at 1pm ET, 12pm CT, 11am MT, 10am PT.
Title: Open OnDemand with Globus

Title: UGent HPC site customisations for module selection in Ondemand
Speaker: Stijn de Weirdt, University of Ghent
Abstract: Walk through UGent HPC site customisation and backend code for
additional features implemented in the ondemand portal. In particular,
dynamic module selection for multiple clusters is detailed.
Thank you to Stijn for quickly agreeing to present this as a follow up of the recent discussion about this on Discourse.
Tips and Tricks call is this week, on May 2nd at 1pm ET, 12pm CT, 11am MT, 10am PT.
Open OnDemand collaboration with the Ecosystem for Research Networking (ERN) CryoEM Federated Remote Instrument Access Project
Abstract: Morgan Ludwig (MGHPCC/Techsquare) and Maureen Dougherty (ERN) will present a demonstration of Open OnDemand running in a container to manage authentication, authorization and handling of scientific instrument access and control via Open OnDemand’s reverse proxy system to connect via noVNC.
The next Tips and Tricks call is this Thursday, August 1st at 1pm ET, 12pm CT, 11am MT, 10am PT.
Brandon Biggs from Idaho National Lab present “AI Chat Integrated into Open OnDemand
Description”. He will demo frontend only, OpenAI API streaming/RAG compatible, chat interface for Open OnDemand. (MC note) INL HPC group is using this chat app as a chatbot access to their documentation.
The Tips and Tricks call is this Thursday, 9/3 at 1pm ET, 12pm CT, 11am MT, 10am PT. We will have an “open mic” session. Particularly interesting would be if participants would be willing to showcase their OnDemand installations. I will start with a tour of our recently re-worked Protected Environment frontend. Those willing to contribute please reply to this thread so we can make you co-hosts for screen sharing.
Happy November, the next Tips and Tricks call is this Thursday 11/7 at 1pm ET, 12pm CT, 11am MT, 10am PT.
Jonathan Lee from Arizona State University will show their new HPC Dashboard app, which includes reworked Node Status app we heard about a year ago along with detailed node and SLURM job information.
