- Relion - Cryo-EM structure determination software3RELION (REgularised LIkelihood OptimisatioN, pronounced rely-on) is a stand-alone software package developed by Sjors Scheres' group at the MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology. It employs an empirical Bayesian approach for electron cryo-microscopy (cryo-EM) structure determination, specifically for refining multiple 3D reconstructions or 2D class averages.
- Roadmap: Sid & IQSS Research Computing1This group presented their project development timeline at the GOOD25 conference, and some of their yearly goals include the changes and development within Open On Demand. Take a look at how they plan big picture development of the platform as a whole within their environment.
- OLLAMA with OOD1This is a recording of how OLLAMA was enabled with a Jupyter OOD Application for PACE at Georgia Tech
- Multitenant Apps: LLMs, Databases, Dashboards, and other shared services within Open OnDemand1
The Multitenant Apps framework was developed for supporting LLMs, databases, and other services on traditional, job-based HPC infrastructure through Open OnDemand (OOD). It allows for controlled and secure sharing of these services between select users, and can greatly reduce hardware overhead since users share the same resources. It is also an effective method for delivering content to users within the OOD interface, which is especially useful within classrooms, research groups, and even departments.
- Apache HTTP Server 2.4 Security Best Practices1The webpage provides guidelines for securing an Apache HTTP Server (version 2.4). It covers best practices such as minimizing module usage, restricting access with permissions, hiding server information, using secure configurations for authentication and encryption, and mitigating common threats like directory traversal and DoS attacks. The page serves as a resource for administrators to strengthen their web server’s security posture.
- CryoSPARC0CryoSPARC is a state of the art scientific software platform for cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) used in research and drug discovery pipelines.
- Open OnDemand Architecture0The webpage provides an overview of the architecture of Open OnDemand, a web-based interface for high-performance computing (HPC) resources. It explains how the system uses Apache as a front-end proxy to authenticate users, manage Per-User NGINX (PUN) instances, and facilitate access to interactive applications like Jupyter and RStudio. The page includes system and container context diagrams, detailing how user requests are processed securely and efficiently within the OnDemand framework.
- TrustedCI Open OnDemand 2021 Audit0Open OnDemand has been audited by Trusted CI, the NSF Cybersecurity Center of Excellence, to enhance its security and maintain its status as a trusted platform, with the latest engagement report contributing to ongoing security improvements. Trusted CI's mission is to provide the NSF community with a clear understanding of cybersecurity, its significance to computational science, and the necessary steps to establish and sustain an effective cybersecurity program.
- Open OnDemand in the Classroom Use Cases0
- Open OnDemand Transforms HPC Access at University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire
- Ohio University professor uses OSC resources to implement AI in Digital Arts + Technology courses
- North Dakota State University deployed Open OnDemand, improving HPC features, access and education
Links to stories with a focus on Open OnDemand for classroom use.
- Apache HTTP Server 2.4 Security Vulnerabilities0The webpage lists known security vulnerabilities affecting Apache HTTP Server 2.4, including detailed descriptions, impact assessments, and mitigation steps. It provides links to official patches, security advisories, and recommendations for keeping servers secure. The page is regularly updated to help administrators stay informed about potential threats and necessary updates.
- Customizing Apps for Classroom use0
- OOD in the Classroom Slides
- Folder for the Tips and Tricks call on Sept 4, 2025 with video recording, chat history and slides.
Slides and video from September 2025 Tips and Tricks call. The slides provide an overview of the Ohio Supercomputer Center's (OSC) classroom instance of Open OnDemand and the adaption of a Jupyter app to support custom python environments for classrooms.
- Open OnDemand Localization0
- Documentation for customizing text in OOD
- Main dashboard locales directory
- Myjobs app locales directory
- English localization for main dashboard
This resource provides tools and documentation for customizing text in the Open OnDemand interface. Access guides and example files to help you localize the main dashboard and MyJobs app, including directories for locale files and an English language template. - Tools and applications for Genomics and Bioinformatics0
- Protein structure prediction using Alphafold2 and Alphafold3
- nf-core bioinformatics pipelines on Open OnDemand
This page provides a list of OOD applications and tools for use in Genomics and Bioinformatics research. Are we missing your application? Please contact us and let us know!
- Identifying user associations for job submissions0Examples of mechanisms for getting user information and presenting it as a dropdown on OOD Forms. There are both auto-methods built into OOD (After 4.0) and Initializers available (after 3.0).
- SSL Configuration Generator0The webpage SSL Configuration Generator by Mozilla provides recommended SSL/TLS configurations for various server platforms, helping administrators enhance security. Users can select their server type, OpenSSL version, and desired security level (Modern, Intermediate, or Old) to generate optimized configurations. The site also includes explanations of best practices and compatibility considerations for different client environments.
- Automating Certificates in OnDemand0Bit of a trick. A number of HPC Centers utilize automated certificate updates that rely on an alias in the httpd config file. The portal takes anything in the ssl block and passes them directly into the generated config. We can use the configuration item ‘custom_vhost_directives’ to add the alias, and then that alias exists in the final config. i.e. -'Alias /.well-known /var/www/ood/public/.well-known' becomes Alias /.well-known /var/www/ood/public/.well-known and now your automated cert bot can find ./well-known
