Batch Connect - HCC Code Server

An improved file viewer / editor for OSC OnDemand that launches a Code Server within an Owens batch job. Code Server leverages VSCode as its editor.

Prerequisites

This Batch Connect app requires the following software be installed on the compute nodes that the batch job is intended to run on (NOT the OnDemand node):

• Lmod 6.0.1+ or any other module purge and module load <modules> based CLI used to load appropriate environments within the batch job before launching Code server.
• Code Server 2.x+ available from Github: https://github.com/cdr/code-server/releases
• Apptainer

Build/Install

Gitlab CI will automatically build both CentOS 7 and 8 RPMs. They can be installed directly via yum for testing. For production, add to the per-cluster common repos and require via puppet.

Known Issues

• In-app installation of extensions does not work
• The authentication provided by code-server is unencrypted
