Welcome to the spot_platform wiki! I will be adding to this section later information about other things not just the containers.

Connecting to the L-CAS Spot Backpack

We are running the following services:

Service Port Type
Zenoh 7447 tcp
noVNC 5801 http
Code Server 9999 https
Filebrowser 8080 http

~/.ssh/config

Add the following lines to your ssh config file, you may have to connect to the spot-BD-sn123456 network to see what the IP address of the NUC is on the research network (by doing ip a).

Host spot
  HostName 192.168.80.3
  Port 20022
  LocalForward 15801 127.0.0.1:5801
  LocalForward 19999 127.0.0.1:9999
  LocalForward 17447 127.0.0.1:7447
  User spot
 
Host spot-research
  HostName 10.247.0.0
  User spot

Connecting via UoL - Research wifi

Spot's NUC is connected to the UoL - Research network so you can connect to it directly.

Use the following command to connect to the host machine from the Research wifi network:

ssh spot-research

Connecting via Spot AP

Spot broadcasts its own wifi network, you can then connect to the network using the credentials in the Teams channel.

Once you have connected to the network you must use port 20022 to access the NUC. You can also use -L to forward ports of services to your local machine as the following.

ssh -p 20022 -L 15801:5801 [email protected]

Or if you have configured your ssh config as above, you can use the command

ssh spot

And as long as you have nothing running on the port you have forwarded locally you can connect to the service in your browser.
