What is an elegant way to use Julia on a Linux server?

You can also use e.g. ProfileCanvas.jl to generate a HTML file that you can then copy to your local machine for easy inspection.

No, Iā€™m just one of the general users not admin. Thanks! I will study your suggestion carefully! :handshake: :handshake:

Thank you! :handshake: :handshake: I use Windows laptop.

Using Julia on the Raspberry PI? That sounds cool! hopefully Hope I can try it in the future. Now Iā€™m using a public server.

Thanks! I really also need a good editor to make some minor modification to the code. Iā€™ll study your kind suggestions carefully! :handshake: :handshake:

Better to simply tunnel them through SSH, which avoids listening to a port that is accessible to other users on the network.

For example assuming julia and jupyter and IJulia.jl are installed on the server, log into your server with ssh -L 8778:localhost:8998 my.server.domain, then run jupyter notebook --no-browser. On your local machine you can now connect to Jupyter at localhost:8778.

Thereā€™ s also jupyterlab/jupyterlab-desktop: JupyterLab desktop application that could be used to use as a separate app from browser (if you have plenty of RAM). And vscode remote can do the ssh tunnelling mentioned above automatically or through the UI easily.

Regarding tunnelling, Mobaxterm has an easy to use GUI for setting up ssh tunnels.
I really do reccomend it.

If you want to use command line ssh tunnel setups you can do so by using the Mobaxterm local terminal

I use Julia for teaching and have found Christianā€™s suggestion very workable. I donā€™t have a laptop to bring to the classroom, but connect remotely to my home-based Mac mini. To get around connectivity issues caused by various firewalls, I use ngrok (http://ngrok.com) to tunnel through to the Mac. The combination works very well for me and has a significant advantage when dealing with machine learning demos with significant compute requirements. The alternative was JuiaHub, which I found expensive and its Pluto option not especially usable.

Good solution! I find tmux a bit clunky for moving text from script to REPL, so I want to suggest another solution: the vim-slime plugin (GitHub - jpalardy/vim-slime: A vim plugin to give you some slime. (Emacs)). In my setup it allows me to open a remote Repl on a server (ssh) and send code blocks from my script into the repl with a single keystroke. Super useful
