Researchers: Do you use idle computer labs as your cluster?

• enroot

  3 553 6.5 Shell

  A simple yet powerful tool to turn traditional container/OS images into unprivileged sandboxes.

  

NVIDIA Enroot A lighter weight alternative to Singularity which solves a lot of issues in regards to user namespaces and subuid/subgid. Still evaluating.

• Squid

Squid Cache This is a cache/proxy server you can put in different network locations to reduce bandwidth between building or to the internet. Really useful for speeding up CVMFS.

• podman

  359 21,816 10.0 Go

  Podman: A tool for managing OCI containers and pods.

  

Podman This is what we use in the Linux labs to spin up a container with our Compute Node software. I haven't found a good way to replicate the Windows workflow for stopping/starting but for now use a shell script that polls that state of the system extremely frequently. This container really only consists of CVMFS and HTConder. If you want to double down you can also use this container on the Windows VMs to pull the latest version of this image at every boot.
