agaveapi/gridengine repository overview

⁠Agave DevOps GridEngine Server

This is a development install of the GridEngine scheduler running as a master and execution host. This image can be treated like a single node cluster for testing purposes.

⁠What is GridEngine

Open Grid Scheduler/Grid Engine is a commercially supported open-source batch-queuing system for distributed resource management. OGS/GE is based on Sun Grid Engine, and maintained by the same group of external (i.e. non-Sun) developers who started contributing code since 2001.

For more information on GridEngine, consult the official website⁠.

⁠What's inside

This development container will create an admin user and three users for testing.

root:root testuser:testuser testshareuser:testshareuser testotheruser:testotheruser

⁠How to use this image

⁠To run the container

This will start the container with a supervisor process which will run a sshd server on exposed port 22 and the GridEngine scheduler running as both a controller and worker node.

⁠To submit jobs

You will need to create an interactive session in order to run jobs in this container. There are two ways to do this.

• First, you can start a container with the default command and ssh in.

  docker run -h docker.example.com -p 10022:22 --rm -d --name gridengine agaveapi/gridengine ssh -p 10022 [email protected]⁠

• Second, you can run an interactive container and start the services yourself.

  docker run -h docker.example.com -p 10022:22 --rm -d --name gridengine --privileged agaveapi/gridengine bash bash-4.1# /usr/bin/supervisord &

In either situation, once you have a session in the container, you can submit jobs using the qsub command. A test script is included in the image at /home/testuser/gridengine.submit. You can submit this script to verify the scheduler is working properly.
