How to access Open OnDemand

In order to access the GACRC OOD web page, You must be connected to the UGA Network, either directly or by VPN. Logging in requires a GACRC Cluster Account.

Browser Requirements/Notes

To have the best experience using OnDemand, use the latest versions of Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox or Microsoft Edge. Use any modern browser that supports ECMAScript 2016. Google Chrome has the widest range of support since the Shell App uses hterm.js which is supported officially by Google. Chrome currently is the only web browser that natively supports the copy and paste functionality in noVNC. Other browsers can do copy and pasting manually through the noVNC tool drawer. Safari users may have issues when using the Shell App or noVNC. There is no IE 11 support.
