How can I run Tensorboard on a remote server?

Question

I\'m new to Tensorflow and would greatly benefit from some visualizations of what I\'m doing. I understand that Tensorboard is a useful visualization tool, but how do I run

Answer 1

1. Find your local external IP by googling "whats my ip" or entering this command: wget http://ipinfo.io/ip -qO -
2. Determine your remote external IP. This is probably what comes after your username when ssh-ing into the remote server. You can also wget http://ipinfo.io/ip -qO - again from there too.
3. Secure your remote server traffic to just accept your local external IP address
4. Run Tensorboard. Note the port it defaults to: 6006
5. Enter your remote external IP address into your browser, followed by the port: 123.123.12.32:6006

If your remote server is open to traffic from your local IP address, you should be able to see your remote Tensorboard.

Warning: if all internet traffic can access your system (if you haven't specified a single IP address that can access it), anyone may be able to view your TensorBoard results and runaway with creating SkyNet themselves.
