Colab, Ngrok,VSC, Google drive, Step by Step

Part 1: Colab+Ngrok+VSCode+Google Drive

This is what I am setting for my development:

Use browser ONLY to:

• 1) coding via Vscode,
• 2) save via Google drive,
• 3) version control via GitHub,
• 4) train ML model via colab

In part 2, I will do:

• Use Hugging face to host my cervical segmental demo
• Jetson Xavier to run the inference.

Get a free Ngrok account/Authtoken:

Go to following Ngrok website and create a free account.

Copy following Authtoken…

Install / Run ngrok on Colab:

Get the the ipynb file from github…. https://github.com/paulxiong/ngrok_colab/blob/master/ngrok_vsc_colab.ipynb

Modify password(123456) if you wish:

Modify the token you just got above:

Run the whole ipynb file just downloaded from GitHub above.

This cell keep running, copy and paste the command line to your local pc, run it in your terminal:
