Add a guest
Guest login name should be easy to identify and no space or special characters.
ie. John Foo = john.foo
$ sudo useradd john.foo
Add guest password
$ sudo passwd john.foo
Make a strong passwd for your guest and ask your guest to call you for passwd.
Add guest to sshfs mounting group
$ sudo usermod -a -G fuse john.foo
Delete guest users account and all of their files
$ sudo userdel john.foo
Server: https://owncloud.stat.ubc.ca/
Login and password are the same as StatNet
Disk quota 20Gb
Users can add their local storage or Dropbox/Goggle Drive storage to their Owncloud account
Dropbox: You will need App key and App secret from Dropbox for Owncloud client
to use Dropbox remote storage on its server.
Login Dropbox,
Create "Dropbox API app"
--> Files and Datastores
--> No, My app needs access to files already on Dropbox
--> All file types.

There are 3 ways to access your files
a) Install a Desktop sync-client How to here
Sync Client download
For Mac/Win/Linux
http://owncloud.org/sync-clients/
For Smart Mobile Devices
https://owncloud.com/blog/now-use-owncloud-on-you-ipad-iphone-or-android
b) Using a web browser
Support all major browsers. No plugin required
c) WedDav
How to here
Complete Owncloud Desktop client Document here.
On you local Mac/Linux laptop/workstation do:
$ mkdir .ssh
$ ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 4096 -f .ssh/mykeys
It will generate 2 files: mykeys and mykeys.pub inside the .ssh folder.
Use ' ssh-copy-id' command' to copy the keys to our Virtual server.
Notes: Mac OSX does not have' ssh-copy-id' command.
Download here: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/beautifulcode/ssh-copy-id-for-OSX/master/ssh-copy-id.sh
$ sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/ssh-copy-id
Now you can copy the newly generated key to Virtual server. (Replace 'stty2u' with your users login name)
$ /usr/local/bin/ssh-copy-id -i .ssh/mykeys stty2u [at] rcloud.stat.ubc.ca
Add your key to your laptop/workstation.
$ssh-add .ssh/mykeys
Test it
$ssh stty2u [at] rcloud.stat.ubc.ca
You should not be asked for password.
We use "sshfs" to mount your StatNet home directory securely.
For your convenient, we created a sshfs script in "/usr/local/bin/statfiles".
For usage, type 'statfiles' at the command line terminal.
Notes: If you are running batch jobs, you should mount and unmount statfiles manually.
A) To manually Mount:
$statfiles mount
$cd statfiles
B) To manually unmount
$cd
$statfiles unmount
Howto Use "sshfs" to mount your StatNet home storage automatically
1) Edit .bash_profile and remove these hashes, using vim or emacs.
$ emacs .bash_profile
...
statfiles mount
sync
cd statfiles
...
2) To unmount statfiles after logout
Edit .bash_login and remove these hashes
$ emacs .bash_logout
...
cd ~
sync
/usr/local/bin/statfiles unmount
...
3)Logout and Login your VM again.
You need to supply your StatNet passwd twice. One for your VM and one for your StatNet Home directory to mount.
4) Confirm your StatNet location
$ pwd
$ ls
5) Now you can start running your code.
$ program your_code here.
Do not save anything important on your local VM disk since it has limited snapshot and backup.
Your local VM files is saved for 7 days and every hours.
