I have been trying to use python 3 for text mining on a 650 MB csv file, which my computer was not powerful enough to do. My second solution was to reach out to google cloud. I have set up my VMs and my jupyter notebook on google cloud, and it works perfectly well. The problem, however, is that I am in constant fear of getting disconnected. As a matter of fact, my connection with google server was lost a couple of time and so was my whole work.

My question: Is there a way to have the cloud run my code without fear of getting disconnected? I need to be able to have access to my csv file and also the output file.

I know there is more than one way and have read a lot of material but they are too technical for a beginner like me to understand.

UPDATE: here is how I get access to my jupyter notebook on google cloud: 1- I run my instance on google cloud 2-I click on SSH 3- in the window that appears, I type the following:

jupyter notebook --ip=0.0.0.0 --port=8888 --no-browser &

I have seen people recommend to add nohup to the beginning of the same commend. I have tried it and got this message:

nohup: ignoring input and appending output to 'nohup.out'

And nothing happens.

There are several options to keep your session running on the host machine even if it's disconnected, see for instance this: https://www.tecmint.com/keep-remote-ssh-sessions-running-after-disconnection/

Personally I use the screen command because I'm familiar with it but I think tmux is more recent.
