Getting Started#

DKubeX Workspace gives you a personal, on-demand development environment running in the cluster. This guide covers logging in, finding your way around the Home dashboard, and creating your first workspace.

Logging In#

DKubeX Workspace uses your organization’s single sign-on (SSO). Navigate to the app URL and you are logged in automatically with your existing credentials — no separate account or password needed.

Home Dashboard#

After logging in, the Home page is your central hub. It shows two sections:

  • Your Workspaces — workspaces you own

  • Shared with You — workspaces others have shared with you

Each workspace card shows its name, current status, resource configuration, and quick-action buttons. Use the search bar at the top to filter by name, description, or owner.

Creating a Workspace#

The new workspace wizard walks you through four steps:

Step 1 — Details: Click New Workspace (or + New workspace) on the Home page, then enter a name for your workspace.

Step 2 — Applications: Pick an application bundle — a template that determines which apps come pre-installed (e.g., the Minimal bundle includes JupyterLab, Terminal, and FileBrowser).

Step 3 — Performance: Choose a compute profile that sets the CPU, GPU, and RAM allocated to your workspace.

Step 4 — Configuration: Review and confirm any final settings, then click Create.

The workspace card will appear on the Home page with a Creating status. Once the pod is ready, the status changes to Running.

Tip: Start with a smaller compute profile and scale up later — you can edit resource settings without losing your data.
