IT-Services::Evop
Info and manual page regarding the IT setup (hard- and software) for the EVOP 2020 workshop
IT-Services::Evop - Login Server
The server provided for the workshop is called
evop-login (FQDN: 'evop-login.imp.fu-berlin.de'). It is a VM with 16 cores and 128 GB RAM that runs Debian "Buster" Linux and has 3 TB local storage.
IT-Services::Evop - Fileserver - Backup/Protection
The following security/backup measures are in place and active:
- RAID - protection in case of physical failure of single disks
- Backup - nightly mirroring of the content of the
/srv/ directory to a dedicated backup server
IT-Services::Evop - Desktop PCs
- Apart friom the login server, there are 30 desktop PCs available in the workshop venue :
- OS: Linux (Debian "Buster")
- CPU: Intel i5 (9. Generation)
- 32 GB RAM
- Graphics: Intel chipset (onboard graphics)
- local storage: 500 GB NVMe SSD (in each PC)
- 27" TFT-Monitor for each PC
- The desktop PCs are named
-
evop01.imp.fu-berlin.de
-
evop02.imp.fu-berlin.de
-
...
-
evop30.imp.fu-berlin.de
IT-Services::Evop - Desktop-PCs - Backup

There is no backup done for the 30 desktop PCs.
IT-Services::Evop - Network access to the Evop server + desktop PCs
Access from within the FU campus network
The server and the desktop PCs are accessible via SSH (remote login), but only from within the Freie Universität's campus network, not from the Internet.
Access from the Internet
From outside FU's campus net, you will have to use our departmental login node
andorra.imp.fu-berlin.de as a "jump host". On 'andorra', you can SSH login with password from the Internet. From 'andorra', you can then connect via SSH to the evop server and clients (or, if you are very familiar with SSH, you can "tunnel" to the evop computers through 'andorra').
IT-Services::Evop - WiFi access
For mobile computers/devices brought by the participants, there are two possible ways to connect them to the Internet via WiFi network (wireless LAN, WLAN): For people coming from instituions that participate in the world-wide
eduroam or who have been provided with an FU account for the workshop can use the
eduroam wifi network. Besides, there will be a temporary wifi network
conference available for the participants during the time of the workshop.
Alternative 1: WiFi access via eduroam network
Alternative 2: WiFi access via conference network
Connect to the WiFi network with the name (SSID)
conference. You then need to enter an access key that is valid for 14 days (and hence needs to be changed once in the middle of the workshop)
- WLAN Key gültig / valid 24.02.-08.03.2020:
...
(bitte beim Veranstalter erfragen! / please ask the workshop chairs! )
- WLAN Key gültig / valid 09.03.-22.03.2020:
...
(bitte beim Veranstalter erfragen! / please ask the workshop chairs! ))
further details on using the
conference WiFi can be found here:
IT-Services::Evop - HOME directories
The HOMEs will be computer-*local*, i.e. when you are logged in to the server, you have another home than on any of the desktop PCs, even though they have the same path
/home/accountname/ on all computers (example:
/home/k00319285/ for user account
k00319285 ). Additionally, on the login server, we have created a "group folder"
/opt/evop/public/ where you can deposit materials (documents, computation data) for the students. The /opt/evop/public/ directory is exported via NFS from the login server to the desktop PCs, so example data etc. that is stored there is also easily available on the 30 desktop PC (without any need to copy it).
If you have any further questions or if you should encounter problems with the set-up, please direct all communication to the support e-mail address we have established for the EVOP workshop:
evop-service@fu-berlin.de .
IT-Services::Evop - Software
The login server and the desktop PCs are running Debian Linux "Buster" and provide the following biocomputing specific software environment:
Software packages manually installed
installed under
/opt/evop/ (also available on the client PCs )
R packages installed (including BioConductor-Packages)
installed under
/usr/lib/R/site-library/ or
/usr/local/lib/R/site-library
(only available on the server
evop-login . )
