Marimo interactive sessions

Warning

If you are using a windows computer, this method has currently been tested in VSCode, WSL powershell, and WSL Ubuntu. We have not tested it yet in Putty or Mobaxterm

To run Python+Marino in interactive mode, first we need to load your interactive session:

srun --account nesi12345 --job-name "InteractiveJob" --cpus-per-task 2 --mem 8G --time 24:00:00 --pty bash

Then, we need to start up Python, install Marino if you dont have it yet, and obtain the hostname and the port:

# Load Python
module load Python

# Install and activate a python virtual environment (or activate your
# current virtual environment). 
python3 -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate

# Install Marino
pip3 install marimo

# Select a random port
PORT=$(shuf -i8000-9999 -n1)

# Check the hostname and port - we will need this later, you can also 
# see it at the start of your prompt
hostname | cut -d'.' -f1 # <-- This is the hostname
echo $PORT               # <-- This is the port

Make a note of the hostname and the port, given by the hostname | cut -d'.' -f1 and echo $PORT commands. Then, we need to start up Marino:

# Start Marino. This might take a minute
marimo edit --headless --host 0.0.0.0 --port $PORT

Make a note of the first URL given by Marino once it launches. For instance:

Create or edit notebooks in your browser 📝

➜  URL: http://0.0.0.0:9929?access_token=Q2QwZyLs8kJP8eHLcNv13A
➜  Network: http://10.232.1.62:9929?access_token=Q2QwZyLs8kJP8eHLcNv13A

The http://0.0.0.0:9929?access_token=Q2QwZyLs8kJP8eHLcNv13A address in this case will be our URL that we will use to launch Marino

In a second terminal on your local machine (or a second screen in tmux or screen), type the following:

ssh -L PORT:HOSTNAME:PORT mahuika

#For example:
#ssh -L 9929:c010:9929 mahuika

Then, in your browser, type in the URL from before

http://0.0.0.0:PORT?access_token=TOKEN

# For example:
# http://0.0.0.0:9929?access_token=Q2QwZyLs8kJP8eHLcNv13A

You will now be able to see and work wih Python+Marino in your web browser.
