Accessing and Using the DSRI

Connect to the UM network

You need to be connected to the UM network to access the DSRI.

On Linux: use openconnect to connect to the UM VPN. You can easily install it on Ubuntu and Debian distributions with apt:

sudo apt install openconnect
sudo openconnect --useragent "AnyConnect" --no-external-auth -u YOUR.USER --authgroup=01 vpn.maastrichtuniversity.nl

On MacOS and Windows: download and install the Maastricht University VPN client available at vpn.maastrichtuniversity.nl

Access the web UI

Access the DSRI web UI at https://console.dsri.unimaas.nl using your UM credentials.

Password

Use your general UM password.

If you do not have access to the DSRI while you think you should, please contact us.

Command line interface

We recommend installing the oc command line interface to perform additional operations on your applications, such as loading large amounts of data using oc cp or deploying an application from a local Dockerfile. Instructions on installing the client can be found here.

Access your project

In the DSRI web console, applications are deployed in projects. A project is created for you when you are granted access to the DSRI.

After logging in, navigate to your project using the Project overview on the home screen.

Reuse your project

You can request a new project when necessary. However, you can easily delete your current project instead of requesting a new one every time you want to start fresh.

Managing access to your project

You can grant or revoke access permissions for project collaborators under your project's RoleBindings. For more info, see Managing Access to Your Project.

About the web UI

The DSRI web console lets you visualize, browse, and manage your projects and workloads directly from the browser.

The Topology view provides a visual overview of your workloads and their connections. If no workloads are running, it will display options to deploy a new application.
