Connecting a cluster
SiestaStudio connects to your HPC cluster over SSH. You provide the host, username, and credentials once; they are encrypted and stored so subsequent operations are seamless.
Adding a connection
- Go to Settings → HPC Connections and click Add connection.
- Enter the hostname (e.g.
glogin1.bsc.es), your username, and either a password or an SSH private key. - Click Test connection to verify that the studio can reach the host.
- Save the connection.
Key-based authentication (recommended)
Paste the contents of your private key file into the key field. The key is encrypted before being stored and never transmitted unencrypted.
Using multiple clusters
You can add as many connections as you like. When you submit a job or open the terminal, you choose which connection to use.
