remote data over ssh

[lstrgar]

Hi. Thanks for the awesome tool. Wondering if it is possible to use this tool to view data stored on a remote machine with only headless access? I have a cluster that I work from with various file systems that hold most of my data (oftentimes very large files).

Thanks for your interest in our project!

Could you try following the directions here to do the port forwarding to the port in our tutorial that you would open on the remote machine (should be 8000) i.e

ssh -L 12345:localhost:8000 myserver.tosshto.com

Then could you try following the directions in our tutorial on your remote machine, including starting the http-server (this would be the only step you need to do if you already have an image pyramid generated)?

npm install --global http-server
http-server --cors='*' --port 8000 .

You should then be able to use http://avivator.gehlenborglab.org/?image_url=http://localhost:12345/my_image.ome.tif and view the result.

Let me know how this works! I was able to access a remote server this way via port forwarding so I imagine it will work.

Looks like another issue with Version 98.0.4758.80 (Official Build) (x86_64). I seriously need to figure out how to turn off auto updates haha

Could you give some more steps to reproduce? I just upgraded to 98 without issue.

What details would be helpful? I'm tunneling the data. identical images worked just fine with firefox

Sorry I never replied to this - could you post the browser log and check the network requests? Maybe a screen-grab video would help. I'm not sure if the page even loads from what you're saying. It's possible this isn't a pyramid and you're trying to load the whole thing which is crashing the page.
