Getting Access
In order to run containers on TIDE, you will need an account with the National Research Platform and you will need to be added to a namespace. A namespace allows its members to share access to containers, enabling collaboration.
In addition to the written directions below, we’ve recorded a video walkthrough for getting an account and requesting access to a namespace.
Creating a National Research Platform Portal Account
The National Research Platform (NRP) portal will automatically create you an account once you login with your CSU-specific login credentials. Follow these steps to sign into the NRP portal:
- Navigate to https://portal.nrp-nautilus.io/
- Click Login in the top right corner
- You will be greeted by a CILogon page
- Click the dropdown in the Identity Provider section and search for your institution
- Click the checkbox for “Remember this selection”
- Click Log On
- You will be greeted by a login page
- Enter your CSU-specific credentials
- Click Login
- Complete any multi-factor authentication (if prompted)
- You should now be redirected to the NRP Portal and you should see your CSU email in the top right corner
- Note: You may not see as many options in the top navigation, as the screenshot below is from an admin account
- Read and accept the Acceptable Use Policy (AUP) at the home page
- Note: You’ll need to re-accept this policy every 12 months to maintain your access
- Verify that you’ve agreed to the AUP
Congratulations! You now have an NRP account and you’re one step closer to running containers.
NRP Portal tasks:
- Peruse the namespaces
- It may be easiest to use your browser’s find tool (ctrl + f / cmd + f)
- Search for “tide-“ to see TIDE related namespaces
- Download your kube config
- You will need to sign in with CILogon again
- The file should download and you should see the following screen
- Open your terminal and run the following command:
mkdir ~/.kube
- Copy your config file into the ~/.kube folder (replace the path below for your config file):
cp ~/Downloads/config ~/.kube/config
- Check to make sure your config file copied successfully:
ls ~/.kube
Requesting Access to a Namespace
Now that you have signed into the NRP Portal, the TIDE team can add you to a namespace which will allow you to run containers on TIDE.
Submit the TIDE Support form with the request type as “Namespace Access or Issue”.
After you submit the form a member of the TIDE team will follow up and add you to the desired namespace.
Next Steps
Once you have an NRP account and have been added to a namespace, continue to the Quickstart to run your first container on TIDE.
