Is it possible to see tensorboard over ssh?

Question

I am running tensorflow code remotely on a ssh server. (e.g., ssh -X [email protected])

On the remote server, it says You can navigate to http://0.0.0.0:6006.

In this case, how can I check tensorboard? How can I navigate the address of a remote machine? I tried to search, but there seems no useful information.

Answer 1

0.0.0.0 is the wildcard address. Thus, you can use any address for the purpose unless the system's firewall is implementig something more restrictive.

That said, let's assume that it is implementing firewall-based restrictions (if it weren't, you could just access http://server.address:6006/ -- but so could anyone else). In that case:

ssh -L 16006:127.0.0.1:6006 [email protected]

...and then refer to http://127.0.0.1:16006/ in a local browser.
