# AiiDAlab Launch

AiiDAlab Launch makes it easy to run AiiDAlab on your own workstation or laptop.

## Getting Started

To use AiiDAlab launch you will have to

1. [Install Docker on your workstation or laptop.](https://docs.docker.com/get-docker/)
2. Install AiiDAlab launch and start AiiDAlab with

    ```bash
    pip install aiidalab-launch
    aiidalab-launch start
    ```
3. Follow the instructions on screen to open AiiDAlab in the browser.

See `aiidalab-launch --help` for detailed help.

### Instance Management

You can inspect the status of all configured AiiDAlab profiles with:

```console
aiidalab-launch status
```

### Profile Management

The tool allows to manage multiple profiles, e.g., with different home directories or ports.
See `aiidalab-launch profiles --help` for more information.

### Forward AiiDAlab from a remote server via SSH

In some cases you might want to run AiiDAlab on a remote server with SSH access and open it in the browser of your local computer.
This can be easily achieved by creating a SSH tunnel between the remote and the local machine.

1. Follow the instructions above to launch AiiDAlab on the remote machine, e.g.,
    ```console
    aiidalab-launch start --no-browser
    ````
    We use the `--no-browser` option since we do not intend to open AiiDAlab in the browser on the remote machine.
2. Wait for AiiDAlab to start and inspect the URL which will look something like this: http://localhost:8888/?token=74647d5fe0...
3. Determine the port on which the AiiDAlab instance is accessible, in this case it is: **8888**.
4. Forward port 8888 via SSH to your local machine with a command similar to this:
   ```console
   ssh user@my-server.org -L 8888:localhost:8888
   ```
   _Please make sure to replace the server username and address with the one applicable to you remote machine._
5. You can now open AiiDAlab in the browser of your local machine directly via the URL from above.

## For maintainers

To create a new release, clone the repository, install development dependencies with `pip install -e '.[dev]'`, and then execute `bumpver update`.
This will:

  1. Create a tagged release with bumped version and push it to the repository.
  2. Trigger a GitHub actions workflow that creates a GitHub release and publishes it on PyPI.

Additional notes:

  - Use the `--dry` option to preview the release change.
  - The release tag (e.g. a/b/rc) is determined from the last release.
    Use the `--tag` option to switch the release tag.
