NUILab Help

Systems & Tools

How to use the lab's day-to-day tools and services — one page per tool.

Systems & Tools

Lab services catalog

Every service the lab runs, what it's for, and how you sign in to it — which ones use lab single sign-on and which ones require two-factor.

Systems & Tools

Mattermost

The lab's self-hosted team chat. Start here — how to use lab chat, and (for the curious) how to run your own server.

Systems & Tools

Git — code hosting (Forgejo)

The lab's self-hosted git at git.nuilab.org — sign in with your lab account, optionally add an SSH key, then clone and push like GitHub.

Systems & Tools

Git LFS — large files (models, textures, builds)

When a file is too big for plain git, and how to put it in Git LFS on git.nuilab.org — from the command line and from a GUI client.

Systems & Tools

Inventory

The lab's equipment inventory — add gear, track where it is and who has it, print barcode labels, and keep the data tidy. Runs on Snipe-IT.

Systems & Tools

Serial numbers

Find the serial and model number of any piece of lab equipment — headsets, laptops, tablets, displays, sensors — on the hardware, in the operating system, or in BIOS.
