Install the perfsonar toolkit or testpoint as a docker container, as sourced from https://hub.docker.com/r/perfsonar.
Default role variables are found in defaults/main.yml.
| Name | Default Value | Description |
|---|---|---|
perfsonar_docker_bundle |
"" | Choice of testpoint or tools. This is required. |
perfsonar_docker_ntp_servers |
"" | List of ntp servers to add to the container's /etc/ntp.conf |
Docker must be installed properly for this role to function as it should. The role found at https://galaxy.ansible.com/mongrelion/docker/ can be quite useful for its installation.
- hosts: testpoints
roles:
- { role: ry-gon.perfsonar-docker, perfsonar_docker_bundle: testpoint }
- hosts: toolkits
roles:
- { role: ry-gon.perfsonar-docker, perfsonar_docker_bundle: tools }
First install the necessary packages:
yum -y install ansible
ansible-galaxy -f install mongrelion.docker
ansible-galaxy -f install ry-gon.perfsonar-docker
Then write a simple playbook to call the roles, e.g. touch pS.yml. The one shown below will provide a standard installation with the 'perfsonar-testpoint' bundle.
- hosts: testpoints
roles:
- { role: mongrelion.docker }
- { role: ry-gon.perfsonar-docker, perfsonar_docker_bundle: testpoint }
Then, run the playbook:
ansible-playbook pS.yml
The container should be up and running by default. To attach to it, run the following:
docker exec -it perfsonar_testpoint /bin/bash
If the tools bundle is used, it would be perfsonar_tools instead of perfsonar_testpoint.
Note that the container's clock must be in sync for perfSONAR to function properly. This can be set through ntp, with a command such as:
ntpdate [ntp server]
From here, you can run any regular perfsonar commands, such as pscheduler.
To stop or start the container, run:
docker container stop perfsonar_testpoint
or
docker container start perfsonar_testpoint
and to list all containers (started or stopped), run:
docker container ls -a
