Specify dashboard port for dask

Question

Is there a way to manually specify the port for the dashboard when creating a dask cluster using dask-jobqueue? When 8787 is taken, it randomly picks a different port, which means that one needs to set up a different tunneling every time.

from dask_jobqueue import PBSCluster
cluster = PBSCluster() # ideally here dashboard_port=
cluster.scale(10)         

from dask.distributed import Client
client = Client(cluster)  # Connect this local process to remote workers

According to the dask-jobqueue docs, additional kwargs are passed to LocalCluster so you should be able to pass the dashboard_address e.g.

cluster = PBSCluster(dashboard_address=':1234')

Have you tried that?

Note that this will still be ignored if the port is already taken. – kuropan Feb 09 '22 at 11:02
