In this post I am referencing a Bash shell script I recently put together for setting up automatic NVIDIA GPU power-limit lowering at system boot. This allows a reliable way to configure and maintain multi-GPU systems for stable operation under heavy load.
Standalone Python Conda envs without installing Conda (using micromamba!)
In this post I’ll show you how to setup isolated conda envs for Python without having a base conda install! I’ll cover Linux and Windows including an example to get you started. Read on to learn about the wonderful micromamba project.
How-To: Make Ubuntu Autoinstall ISO with Cloud-init
This post will guide you through the process of creating an Ubuntu 20.04 (or newer) autoinstall ISO by modifying the default installer ISO. The install configuration will be done using cloud-init cloud-config method that is now used for the Ubuntu server installer.
Self Contained Executable Containers Using Enroot Bundles
NVIDIA Enroot has a unique feature that will let you easily create an executable, self-contained, single-file package with a container image AND the runtime to start it up! This allows creation of a container package that will run itself on a system with or without Enroot installed on it! “Enroot Bundles”.
Run “Docker” Containers with NVIDIA Enroot
Enroot is a simple and modern way to run “docker” or OCI containers. It provides an unprivileged user “sandbox” that integrates easily with a “normal” end user workflow. I like it for running development environments and especially for running NVIDIA NGC containers. In this post I’ll go through steps for installing enroot and some simple usage examples including running NVIDIA NGC containers.
Note: Adding Anaconda PowerShell to Windows Terminal
When you install Miniconda3 or Anaconda3 on Windows it adds a PowerShell shortcut that has the necessary environment setup and initialization for conda. It’s listed in the Windows menu as “Anaconda Powershell Prompt (Anaconda3)”. However, this opens a separate/detached PowerShell instance and it would be nice to have this as an optional shell from Windows Terminal! In this post we will add that functionality as a new shell option in Windows Terminal.
Note: How To Install JupyterLab Extensions (Globally for a JupyterHub Server)
The current JupyterHub version 2.5.1 does not allow user installed extension for JupyterLab when it is being served from JupyterHub. This should be remedied in version 3. However, even when this is “fixed” it is still useful to be able to install extensions globally for all users on a multi-user system. This note will show you how.
Note: How To Copy and Rename a Microsoft WSL Linux Distribution
WSL on Windows 10 does not (currently) provide a direct way to copy a Linux distribution that was installed from the “Microsoft Store”. The following guide will show you a way to make a working copy of an installed distribution with a new name.
Note: Self-Signed SSL Certificate for (local) JupyterHub
In this note I’ll go through creating self-signed SSL certificates and adding them to a JupyterHub configuration running on a LAN or VPN. This will allow encrypted access to the server using https in a browser.
Note: JupyterHub with JupyterLab Install using Conda
This is a quick note about setting up a JupyterHub server and JupyterLab using conda with Anaconda Python.
