InterfaceΒΆ

When accessing the Kiosc web interface, one is greeted with the Kiosc logo and a login form. You need to have an account with Kiosc or the LDAP must be configured to be able to log in with your institute account. Approach your system administrator about that matter if you are unsure.

Login

Once logged in, you will see an overview of all the projects you are assigned to, alike SODAR. If you do expect to have access to a project you do not have access to, ask the leader or delegate of that project to grant you access to that project. If the Kiosc instance is linked to a SODAR instance, the access is set in SODAR and must then be synchronized to Kiosc by the administrator.

Home

To be able to access the Kiosc apps, click on a project. On the left-hand side you will have access to multiple apps, three of them are of interest:

  1. Containers for creating and controlling Docker containers.

  2. Container Template for creating templates for Docker containers.

  3. Small Files for uploading smaller files that the containers can then access.

Additionally, in the top-right corner is a drop-down menu for account settings and site apps. This gives access to the site-wide container template app. This hosts container templates that are accessible site-wide and not project-wide.
