1. Go to Dashboard

Sign up or log in to begin working with your notebook servers:

Dashboard

The dashboard contains all of your servers, environments, Alph, and your account billing and settings.

2. Start Notebook Server

To get started simply click the server card to launch your notebook server. Everyone starts with their own default server and one additional server.

3. Develop with Alph

Once your server is ready, click on the server card again to be taken to the Alph Editor. Here, you can start working with Agent Alph, write code, use the integrated terminal, and more.

4. Create Another Notebook Server

To launch another notebook server, go to the “Create Server” page under the Menu tab. From there, specify the server name, environment, compute, and port to launch.

5. Share Apps with Port Forward URL

Every notebook server has their own port forwarding URL that you can find by running echo $PORT_FORWARD_URL in the terminal.

You can use this to immediately deploy and run apps directly in your notebook and securely share them on a public URL.

Here’s an example you can run in a notebook that launches a gradio server on localhost:5000 in your notebook.

python
import gradio as gr

def greet(name, intensity):
    return "Hello, " + name + "!" * int(intensity)

demo = gr.Interface(
    fn=greet,
    inputs=["text", "slider"],
    outputs=["text"],
)

demo.launch(server_port=5000)

!echo $PORT_FORWARD_URL

You can visit the PORT_FORWARD_URL or just view it on the Agent Alph page.

6. Manage Server

Finally, you can manage your servers by stopping or deleting them on the “Manage Servers” page.
