This functionality is planned for November
What is RTC mode ?
RTC (Real-time collaboration) mode allows use of collaborative features between different users using the same Jupyter server.
You can allow other users to access your running Jupyter server.
Warning !
By allowing other users to access your server, you also allow them to access some internal things present on your Jupyter server, namely:
- your OIDC access token
- your ownCloud mount
How do I enable RTC mode?
You can enable RTC mode by selecting a collaborative from the server spawning options menu.
Once your server instance is ready, you can verify your Jupyter server is in RTC mode by checking the Launcher menu.
You should be able to see RTC: tag :
How do I enable other users to access my server in RTC mode?
To share access to your server, you will need to get a sharing link.
You can find it in the top right corner by clicking on the icon in a picture, which opens a RTC share link menu.
Now you have 2 options on how to share an access:
- Share a link with your token included in it - this will allow you to share access to your server even for users who are not registered in EOSC services.
This option is the easiest but has a limitation - you can't see other online collaborators because other users are using your
server token to access your instance. If you have opened the same file with other user(s), you will be able to see other colored
cursors, which is the user you shared the link with.
