NoMachine is a desktop virtualization tool. It is similar to VNC, Remote Desktop, etc. It uses the NX protocol to enable a graphical login to remote servers.
Installation
NoMachine is available for PSI Windows computers in the Software Kios under the name NX Client. Please use the latest version (at least 6.0). For MacOS and Linux, the NoMachine client can be downloaded from https://www.nomachine.com/.
Connecting to Merlin
Currently the recommended way of connecting to Merlin5 is through
merlin-nx-01.psi.ch. This can be added in NoMachine as a new connection. It is
also available through remacc.psi.ch, a NoMachine 'jump point' provided by
Photon Science for access from outside PSI.
The merlin-nx-01 machine does not directly access Merlin itself. However it
provides a fully configured Linux environment from which merlin can be accessed
with ssh commands.
It is planned to run NoMachine directly on the Merlin6 login node in the future. This will enable data to be more easily transferred from Merlin6 through NoMachine.
