Yabi

About

Yabi is a 3-tier application stack to provide users with an intuitive, easy to use, abstraction of compute and data environments. Developed at the Centre for Comparative Genomics (https://ccg.murdoch.edu.au/), Yabi has been deployed across a diverse set of scientific disciplines and high performance computing environments.

Yabi has a few key features:

simplified web based access to High Performance Computing
easy tool addition and maintenance
handling of disparate compute and storage resouces ie. PBSPro, SGE, Torque, Slurm, SSH, SFTP, Amazon S3, Openstack Swift
easy and powerful workflow creation environment

For developers

We do our development using Docker containers. See: https://www.docker.com/. You will have to set up Docker on your development machine.

Other development dependencies are Python 2 and virtualenv (https://virtualenv.pypa.io/en/latest/).

All the development tasks can be done by using the develop.sh shell script in this directory. Please run it without any arguments for help on its usage.

Some typical usages are:

./develop.sh dev_rebuild

You will need to run this the first time after you clone our repo to build the docker containers. You will also need to re-run it if you would like to rebuld the docker containers, for example when your python dependencies change.
./develop.sh dev

To start up all the docker containers needed for dev. You can access the Django Yabi application on http://localhost:8000 (replace localhost with $ boot2docker ip if using boot2docker) after this. You can login with one of the default users demo/demo or admin/admin.
./develop.sh runtests

Starts up all the docker containers and runs all our tests against them.
./develop.sh pylint

Lint your python code.
./develop.sh jslint

Lint your javascript code.

Note: Our docker containers are coordinated using docker-compose (https://docs.docker.com/compose/) but docker-compose will be installed into a virtualenv environment automatically by the ./develop.sh script for you.
