Create SSH tunel to a running colab notebook
- This package only allow SSH public key authentication so you will need to prepare once. You might already had one at
~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub. Refer this to create a new one if you don't had once already - In order to connect to the SSH tunel from your machine, you will need to install
cloudflaredfrom here
Create a new Colab notebook with a single cell with the following content:
!pip3 install linus-colab-ssh
from colab_ssh import setup_ssh, loop_forever
public_key = '<YOUR_PUBLIC_SSH_KEY>'
setup_ssh(public_key)
loop_forever()You can use list of public key or link to a raw text file of authorized_keys like this as well
Optinally, you can also specify a Mattermost Webhook URL with mattermost_webhook_address when calling setup_ssh to send a push notification to your Mattermost channel when the SSH tunel is ready.
Run it, after about 2 minutes, you will see something like this:
Command to connect to the ssh server:

Please noted that you must keep the kernel webpage connected to avoid Colab disconnect your kernel early.
This repo contains many of the configuration that I use for my day to day work so it might not be the best for you.
If you had any problems using this, feel free to open an issue. Otherwise, I highly recommend you to fork this repo and did some necessary modification for yourself. Thanks for checking by
