Starting points

Torch + Jupyter

Deploy JupyterLab with PyTorch preinstalled as a built-in Environment on a GPU machine. Aquanode provisions and starts it for you behind a private, password-protected URL.

This is a built-in Environment

Picking this in the console is how you start a pod. The app is preinstalled on the first launch, and everything you add afterwards lives on the pod's Volume, so it survives stopping the machine and comes back when you start again. See Launching a pod.

The Torch + Jupyter built-in Environment gives you a ready-to-use JupyterLab environment with PyTorch preinstalled, running on a GPU machine. Pick it when you deploy and it starts automatically on boot, served behind a password-protected URL. No setup on the box required.

What you can do

  • Get a GPU-backed JupyterLab with PyTorch already installed
  • Run notebooks for training, fine-tuning, inference, and experiments
  • Access it from your browser over a private URL with an auto-generated password

Deploy Torch + Jupyter

Pick a GPU

Go to Deploy a Pod and choose a GPU offer sized for your workload.

Select the Torch + Jupyter Environment

In the New pod screen, open the Environment picker and choose Torch + Jupyter under Built-in. Set a name and resources, then launch.

The service starts on boot

Aquanode provisions the box, sets up JupyterLab with PyTorch, and starts it automatically once the machine is ready. You don't install anything yourself.

Open JupyterLab

When the deployment reaches Ready, open it from Pods and go to the Overview tab. The Jupyter section shows:

  • An Open button (and the URL, with a copy button)
  • A Password to sign in

Click Open, enter the password, and JupyterLab loads in your browser. PyTorch is already available, so you can import torch and start working immediately.

Access details

  • JupyterLab is served on port 8888. Authentication uses a single password (there is no separate username), generated automatically per deployment and shown on the Overview tab.
  • The service status (running / starting) is shown alongside the password.

The machine bills until you close it

A Jupyter deployment is a running GPU machine. It keeps billing until you close the deployment from the console. Close it when you're done.
