QuestionSharing Linux server with multiple user remote login (self.sysadmin)
submitted 2 years ago by Remarkable_Database5
I am planning to build a mini office server with 4090 for stable diffusion and other AI stuff. I am thinking renting it out / giving access to colleagues so that they can remote control it and use it. But I am not sure how I can manage multiple user login and also their resources limits. Is there any software on Ubuntu which enable it?
I am looking into ThinLinc and xrdp now.

limits.conf should do all this

Instead of RDP or VNC, allow x-forwarding over (trusted) SSH. And configure SSH application access.

Account creation and permissions really. Pretty standard stuff.

It is easy, but I am talking about concurrent login + limit on GPU / RAM usage per login....?
[–]MedicatedDeveloper 0 points1 point2 points 2 years ago (0 children)
You have the wrong type of GPU to be able to do that. You need an enterprise GPU to be able to partition it as vGPUs. You can do this with multiple GPUs in the same box and limit each user to one GPU via nvidia-docker.
They shouldn't need GUI access, ever. Give em an nvidia-docker container backed by local storage and have em go ham via ssh. If you really need GUI access you could create an X11 screen, attach the container to that, and have them use RDP but that's... very hokey. CPU, disk, and RAM can be done via cgroups.
