-=== 🔐 How to Get Access to the Cluster ===
-To gain access to the cluster, follow the steps below to generate an SSH key and send it to the administrators.
-=== 🖥️ Step 1: Generate an SSH Key Pair ===
-====🔷 Linux / macOS ====
-Open your terminal.
-Run the following command:
-<code bash>
-ssh-keygen -t ecdsa -b 521  -C "your_email@example.com"
-#Press Enter to accept the default file location (~/.ssh/id_ecdsa).
-#(Optional) Set a passphrase for added security.
-</code>
-This will generate:
-~/.ssh/id_ecdsa (your private key)
-~/.ssh/id_ecdsa.pub (your public key)
-====🟦 Windows (using PowerShell or Git Bash)====
-**Option 1**: Git Bash (Recommended)
-Install Git for Windows if you don’t have it.
-Open Git Bash and run:
-<code bash>
-ssh-keygen -t ecdsa -b 521  -C "your_email@example.com"
-#Accept the default location (/c/Users/YourName/.ssh/id_ecdsa) and set a passphrase if desired.
-#(Optional) Set a passphrase for added security.
-</code>
-**Option 2**: PowerShell (with OpenSSH)
-Open PowerShell (Run as Administrator).
-Run:
-<code powershell>
-ssh-keygen -t ecdsa -b 521 -C "your_email@example.com"
-# Press Enter to use the default save path (C:\Users\YourName\.ssh\id_ecdsa).</code>
-</code>
-====📤 Step 2: Send Your Public Key====
-Find your public key:
-**Linux/macOS:** ~/.ssh/id_ecdsa.pub
-**Windows:** C:\Users\YourName\.ssh\id_ecdsa.pub (or in Git Bash: ~/.ssh/id_ecdsa.pub)
-Send it via email to: 📧 admin@unite.cluster
-====✅ Step 3: Wait for Confirmation====
-The administrators will create your cluster account and add your SSH key. You’ll receive login details once setup is complete.
-====🔌 Step 4: Connect to the Cluster====
-After you’re granted access, connect to the cluster with:
-  * **Windows** (using [[ https://mobaxterm.mobatek.net/ | MobaXterm ]]). Open MobaXterm.
-    - Click "Session" in the top-left corner.
-    - In the Session settings window, select SSH.
-    - In the Remote host field, enter the cluster address (e.g., storage2.unite.uni-sofia.bg).
-    - In the Specify username field, enter your cluster username.
-    - Under the "Advanced SSH settings" tab, click "Use private key" and browse for the private key file you saved earlier (e.g., id_ecdsa).
-    - Click "OK" to save the session.
-  * **Linux**
-    - Create configuration file in ~/.ssh/config
-      <code bash>
-        Host unite.uni-sofia.bg
-        HostName storage2.unite.uni-sofia.bg
-        User <your_username>
-        IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_unite
