🤹‍♀️Desktop GUI

This workspace provides an HTTP-based VNC access to the workspace via noVNC. Thereby, you can access and work within the workspace with a fully-featured desktop GUI. To access this desktop GUI, go to Open Tool, select VNC, and click the Connect button. In the case you are asked for a password, use vncpassword.

Once you are connected, you will see a desktop GUI that allows you to install and use full-fledged web-browsers or any other tool that is available for Ubuntu. Within the Tools folder on the desktop, you will find a collection of install scripts that makes it straightforward to install some of the most commonly used development tools, such as Atom, PyCharm, R-Runtime, R-Studio, or Postman (just double-click on the script).

Clipboard: If you want to share the clipboard between your machine and the workspace, you can use the copy-paste functionality as described below:

💡 Long-running tasks: Use the desktop GUI for long-running Jupyter executions. By running notebooks from the browser of your workspace desktop GUI, all output will be synchronized to the notebook even if you have disconnected your browser from the notebook.
