Padins

A workflow management system for scientific devops.

https://antoinecheron.github.io/padins-backend/

Goal : to develop a computational tool for science researcher. This tool let them do three main things :

Design a scientific worklow
Execute the workflow on a distributed system
Visualize the results, including matrices as videos

Typical Use Cases

User wants to produce a Boussinesq Simulation on a hillslope and see the results on a chart, choosing the kind of chart. Then go through the chart.
User wants to adjust its mathematic model comparing the simulation's results and the data she picked up on the real case study.

Getting Started

There are two way to run this project : using an already built docker image or using the binaries.

Using docker :

Prerequisites

To run this project, you'll need :

Docker

https://www.docker.com/community-edition

Our lmt-python-core image

docker pull antoinecheronirisa/lmt-python-core

Then you just need to run it, no installation needed

UNIX-based OS

Open a terminal
docker run -it --rm -p 8080:8080 -v /usr/include/padins/0-1-0:/usr/include/padins/0-1-0 -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock antoinecheronirisa/padins
Go to : http://localhost:8080

WNIDOWS(data will not be persistent. I recommend using a Linux vm)

Open the Windows Cmd
Open port 445 of Windows trough the firewall, typing netsh firewall set portopening tcp 445 enable
Make sure docker is started, then docker run -it --rm -p 8080:8080 -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock antoinecheronirisa/padins
Open another Windows Cmd and type the following command to get the padins container's IP address : docker-machine ip default. Info : default is the name of the open VirtualBox.
Go to : http://{{ container's IP address }}:8080

Stopping the server

Simply use 'ctrl+c'

Starting the server in the background

Replace -it with -d in the commands above. -it stands for interactive. Instead -d stands for detached. When using -d, if you want to stop the server I recommend naming the container, for example 'padins-server', then using the command 'docker stop padins-server'.

As an example, you can use this command : docker run -d --rm -p 8080:8080 -v /usr/include/padins/0-1-0:/usr/include/padins/0-1-0 -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock --name padins-server antoinecheronirisa/padins

Using the binaries (Linux and MacOS)

[INFO] MacOS doesn't have the package manager apt-get. Instead, on every command using apt-get, use brew. For instance, apt-get install maven becomes brew install maven. If you don't know homebrew, you can download it clicking this link.

Prerequisites

To run this project, you'll need :

Docker

https://www.docker.com/community-edition

A Java Virtual Machine

https://java.com/en/download/
OR
apt-get install default-jdk

You will also need maven and npm

Installing

First : open your terminal and go to the folder where you want to install this project

Then download the version you want,

For the stable version (latest release) :

wget "https://github.com/AntoineCheron/padins-backend/archive/v0.1.0.zip"
unzip v0.1.0.zip -d ./
cd padins-backend-0.1.0

For the last development version :

wget "https://github.com/AntoineCheron/padins-backend/archive/master.zip"
unzip master.zip -d ./
cd padins-backend-master

Then, just one step to install :

./install.sh

Running

Go to the folder where you installed the project
Run the following command :

./run.sh
