OpsOrbital: Real-Time Server Operations from Your Pocket

Shanghai Jiao Tong University

This is the demo video of project OpsOrbital. We introduce the motivation and demonstrate the main design and function in the video. Motivation part draws inspiration from TF-Watcher repository.

Abstract

We introduce OPSORBITAL, a novel and practical framework designed for the supervision of CS/AI-related experiments. OPSORBITAL offers a scenario-specific, convenient, and user-friendly solution for remote server management on mobile devices. Built on a server-client architecture, the framework consists of a server script running on the remote server and a client app on an Android device. Through thoughtful front-end and back-end design, OPSORBITAL enables users to easily inspect, control, and receive notifications about their remote server status via mobile devices. Key features include real-time monitoring of system resources, network details and processes, as well as functionalities like running scripts, killing processes, adjusting hyperparameters, and receiving timely notifications. By simplifying server monitoring and control, OPSORBITAL significantly enhances the efficiency of computer science researchers, enabling them to manage their servers from anywhere.
