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. oacis_docker is developed to improve the installability of OACIS.
Linux users can easily install docker package via apt command or yum command. Microsoft Windows users and Mac OS users can easily install docker via boot2docker. oacis_docker has start scripts in ./bin directory and the scripts include docker command lines to start OACIS. Thus, after installing dokcer, user can start using OACIS only by running the start scripts.
Several tasks to keep running your OACIS in virtual environment are not necessary. For example, the version update task is not necessary. When you want to update OACIS version, you logout from the virtual machine, and then you re-login by running start scripts. (The start scripts automatically check and get the latest OACIS image.) For another example, moving files between host machine and virtual machine is not necessary. Because, OACIS data (database data, simulation results) is automatically shared with the host file system.
-
Easy installation
- In, Linux, Microsoft Windows and Mac, it is enable to install docker
- The start script creates shared directories between host file system and virtual machine file system
- Network configuration is automatically established
- The start script automatically get the OACIS image
-
Easy management
- The start script automatically check and get the latest OACIS image
- The start script make a back of OACIS data in the shared directories
