Introduction: Getting Started with GENI using the GENI Portal
|
Instructions
1. Pre-work: Create a GENI account
|
Congratulations, you have successfully created a GENI account.
2. Generate and Download SSH Keypair
Access to compute resources in GENI is provided through ssh key pairs and thus the portal needs a public key to upload to compute resources. For the purposes of the tutorial we will have the portal create an SSH key pair for you. (However, if you prefer to use your personal public key you can choose to upload it.)
- Once you are logged in, click on the Profile page.
- On the Profile page in the SSH Keys section, select generate and download an SSH keypair button.
- Enter the same passphrase twice, then press Generate SSH private key.
- Now, press the Download Private Key button
- Open a terminal and execute:
$ mv ~/Downloads/id_geni_ssh_rsa ~/.ssh/. $ chmod 600 ~/.ssh/id_geni_ssh_rsa $ ssh-add ~/.ssh/id_geni_ssh_rsa
Later in the tutorial, this will allow you to log into your nodes securely without a password.
3. Join a Project
In order to use the portal to reserve resources, you must join a project. We have created a project for this tutorial.
