Introduction

  • OACIS is a useful job management software for large scale simulations. However, the installability of OACIS is not good for the researchers who use Microsoft Windows OS or who are unfamiliar with Linux OS or Mac OS.

Motivation

  • Running OACIS in virtual environment is a solution to improve the installability. In considering that OACIS processes are running in virtual environment, we can get advantages like the followings.

    1. If users can get virtual machine images in which OACIS has already been installed, users can run OACIS without installing prerequisites of OACIS installation. (e.g. installing MongoDB, ruby and bundler)
    2. Windows users can run OACIS in their personal computers.

  • Because of the above advantages, Quick Installation using a virtual machine is introduced in OACIS wiki.

Advantages to use docker

  • When we run OACIS processes in virtual environment, we should discuss disadvantages like the followings.

    1. Installing virtual machine player is required.
    2. Tasks to share files between guest and host OSs occur.
    3. Tasks to share networks between guest and host OSs occur.
    4. Size of the OACIS image file is large (about 5 GB).
    5. OACIS version update is required many times, if several virtual machines are running.

  • Docker ()
