Databases: MariaDB and PostgreSQL
Our MariaDB 10.5 server is mariadb.labranet.jamk.fi
Students can create their own user for the server by going to https://mariadb.labranet.jamk.fi (only available from LabraNet workstations or over VPN), authenticating with their LabraNet login, and pushing a button. The page then tells you your new mysql password, and you can also reset your password from there if you’ve forgotten it.
The server is accessible from student.labranet.jamk.fi, and from LabraNet workstations and over VPN. We’re open to suggestions for graphical tools to recommend, but HeidiSQL and DBeaver look pretty good and are available on LabraNet workstations.
The server supports TLS (for authenticating the server only), but does not force it.
Our PostgreSQL 12.4 server is postgres.labranet.jamk.fi
Same operating principles as the mariadb server above.
External Access
Connections from LabraNet networks to Internet are generally restricted to standard TCP/UDP port numbers used by corresponding applications. This means that if you are running for example a web server somewhere on the Internet that listens to some non-standard HTTP port number (eg. 5000), the connection will be denied.
Instructions on how to solve this can be found on LabraNet_External_Access guide
Contact the LabraNet helpdesk
Note: If your matter is concerning any of the following:
- Office 365 (Email, OneDrive, Teams etc.)
- Peppi
- Moodle
- Zoom
- WLAN (Eduroam)
- Computers anywhere except in LabraNet classrooms
Then you want the JAMK helpdesk instead.
If not and you want to contact LabraNet administration, please fill out a service request.
Academic Subscriptions
Most current list of the software subscriptions JAMK participates in can be found in JAMK Helpdesk:
Institute of Information Technology participates currently also in VMware Academic Program (VMAP), which provides one year trial licenses for VMware Virtualization software, such as VMware Workstation, vSphere Hypervisor and vCenter Server.
Sadly, after the acquisition of VMware by Broadcom, VMware Academic Program no longer exists. We recommend moving on to platforms that support individual learning and care for their users such as Proxmox
How do I get LabraNet User ID?
If you are a student you have to first enroll to courses in Peppi. After that you will receive via email your LabraNet User ID and some instructions. You will not receive User ID if none of the courses that you have enrolled to is held in LabraNet class rooms or if the courses do not use LabraNet services and/or resources. At the beginning of each semester LabraNet Admins will periodically run a script that check new users from Peppi. If you are not going to enroll in Peppi (e.g. you have almost finished your studies) and you wish to use LabraNet, please mail us or visit room D332 in IT-Dynamo.
Members of staff can have their User ID’s by visiting us in room D332.
