How can I setup Visdom on a remote server? - python-3.x

Question

I'd like to use visdom for visualization of results in a deep learning algorithm which is trained in a remote cluster server. I found a link that tried to describe a correct way to setup everything in a slurm script.
python -u Script.py --visdom_server http://176.97.99.618 --visdom_port 8097
I use my ip and 8097 to connect to the remote cluster server:
ssh -L 8097:176.97.99.618:8097 my_userid#r#my_server_address
I have the following lines of code:
import visdom
import numpy as np
cfg = {"server": "176.97.99.618",
"port": 8097}
vis = visdom.Visdom('http://' + cfg["server"], port = cfg["port"])
win = None
#Plotting on remote server
def update_viz(epoch, loss, title):
global win
if win is None:
title = title
win = viz.line(
X=np.array([epoch]),
Y=np.array([loss]),
win=title,
opts=dict(
title=title,
fillarea=True
)
)
else:
viz.line(
X=np.array([epoch]),
Y=np.array([loss]),
win=win,
update='append'
)
update_viz(epoch, elbo2.item(), 'ELBO2 Loss of beta distributions')
I got this error:

how can I run my plotting script on a remote server? How should the command line of python code be in my SLURM script? How can I store the plot and move it later to my laptop using scp command?

Answer 1

Try using global viz after global win line.
