18.10 Workstation

Work-in-progress

This page is currently under development.

The setup for a typical workstation includes the following:

  • An Ubuntu Operating System
  • Setup on a notebook (PhD students)
  • Setup on an external hard drive (student assistants), together with a QR-code linking to a video on how to use the “system”

The following apps are pre-installed based on a shell script:

  • First-steps file (on desktop), covering git config, ssh, gpg, github account, and a link to the handbook (onboarding section)
  • Instead of a pre-installed E-Mail client, we recommend the web interface? (Thunderbird currently requires a paid owl extension)
  • Browser: Handbook as the default page
  • Back-in-time
  • Keepass
  • Git / Docker
  • Paper Docker container
  • Obsidian (with chrome plugin)
  • Visualstudio
  • Python / R / Jupyter
  • Zoom
  • Zotero (with chrome plugin)

Shell script:

# Remove snap
# Create a default folder structure
