Question 1

What is the list of allowed whitelisted APIs?

Accepted Answer

To ensure information security and data protection, the Research Pod environment has complete internet access restrictions. 
Libraries used for research are permitted only based on a whitelist. The whitelist will be periodically updated based on researchers' requirements through information security assessments.

pypi : https://pypi.org/
conda-forge : https://anaconda.org/conda-forge/
cran : https://cran.r-project.org/
Hugging Face : https://huggingface.co/
VitalDB : https://vitaldb.net
PhysioNet : https://physionet.org

Question 2

Can external data be uploaded to the Pod currently in use?

Accepted Answer

Yes, it is possible. However, while NSTRI strives to support a wide range of external data formats, there may still be some unsupported extensions. Additionally, external data can be utilized after upload, but any data generated using such inputs will be regarded as research outputs. Please note that downloading or externally verifying these outputs will require necessary security measures. If the uploaded data violates NSTRI’s security policies or contains malicious code, actions may be taken without prior notice.

Question 3

I would like to reconfigure the environment of the Pod.

Accepted Answer

We would like to inform you that resetting the Pod environment can be very challenging. Generally, we recommend terminating the Pod and restarting it. In such cases, we strongly advise securely preserving your research environment data or storing it in the platform’s NAS. If terminating the Pod is not feasible, please refer to the “Contact Us” section and reach out to us. We will do our best to explore alternative solutions to assist you.
