Open OnDemand

Open OnDemand is open-source software for Linux that provides remote web access to supercomputers, high-performance computing clusters, and computational grids. It is designed for students, researchers, and industry professionals who need to work with these computing resources remotely. In MirrorNest, it is placed in the education category because its stated audience and use cases include learning, research, and professional computational work.

The software’s central function is to connect users with powerful computing environments through web access. It supports access to several types of computational infrastructure, including supercomputers, high-performance computing clusters, and computational grids. This makes it applicable to organizations and individuals whose work depends on remote use of shared or specialized computing resources.

Its open-source license allows the software to be used within the terms of that license and keeps its source available as part of the project’s development model. The Linux platform designation identifies the operating system environment for which this package is provided. Together, the platform and license information help users assess whether Open OnDemand fits their technical environment and software requirements.

MirrorNest mirrors the official Open OnDemand build directly on its own storage rather than presenting an unrelated repackaging. The mirrored build is scanned for malware before publication. For post-installation configuration specific to the Open OnDemand snap package, consult the README at https://github.com/charmed-hpc/ondemand-snap. Bugs and other issues with the snap should be reported through its GitHub issue tracker at https://github.com/charmed-hpc/ondemand-snap/issues.
