A sandbox directory must be provisioned to enable app development in Open OnDemand (OOD).
First, we need to allow the user to create sandbox apps by creating a symlink to point to the homedir:
sudo mkdir -p /var/www/ood/apps/dev/<USERNAME> cd /var/www/ood/apps/dev/<USERNAME> sudo ln -s /home/<USERNAME>/ondemand/dev gateway
User using <NAME>@agreserch.co.nz would use
sudo ln -s /home/agresearch.co.nz/<NAME>/ondemand/dev gateway
Once complete, the enabled user can try a tutorial, e.g. https://osc.github.io/ood-documentation/latest/tutorials/tutorials-interactive-apps/add-jupyter/copy-app.html to become familiar with the sandbox environment and the steps to clone an app from a repo.
https://openondemand.org/run-open-ondemand#enabled-applications is a catalogue of OOD apps available.
When accessing https://ondemand.eri.agresearch.co.nz via the default, it uses an Azure Application proxy that doesn’t allow all cookies to pass through! A known issue is that the WebSocket connects are breaking.
