dedal 0.9.1

This package includes all the essential tools required to set up an EBRAINS Software Distribution environment.

Dedal

This repository provides functionalities to easily managed spack environments and helpers for the container image build flow.

This library was tested on Ubuntu operating system.

Setting up the needed environment variables The <checkout path>\dedal\.env file contains the environment variables required for OCI registry used for caching. Ensure that you edit the <checkout path>\dedal\.env file to match your environment. The following provides an explanation of the various environment variables:

   # OCI Registry Configuration Sample for concretization caches
   # =============================
   # The following variables configure the Harbor docker OCI registry (EBRAINS) used for caching.
   
   # The hostname of the OCI registry. e.g. docker-registry.ebrains.eu
   CONCRETIZE__OCI_HOST="docker-registry.ebrains.eu"
   
   # The project name in the Docker registry.
   CONCRETIZE__OCI_PROJECT="concretize_caches"
   
   # The username used for authentication with the Docker registry.
   CONCRETIZE__OCI_USERNAME="robot$concretize-cache-test+user"
   
   # The password used for authentication with the Docker registry.
   CONCRETIZE_OCI_PASSWORD="###ACCESS_TOKEN###"
    

   # OCI Registry Configuration Sample for binary caches
   # =============================
   # The following variables configure the Harbor docker OCI registry (EBRAINS) used for caching.
   
   # The hostname of the OCI registry. e.g. docker-registry.ebrains.eu
   BUILDCACHE_OCI_HOST="docker-registry.ebrains.eu"
   
   # The project name in the Docker registry.
   BUILDCACHE_OCI_PROJECT="binary-cache-test"
   
   # The username used for authentication with the Docker registry.
   BUILDCACHE_OCI_USERNAME="robot$binary-cache-test+user"
   
   # The password used for authentication with the Docker registry.
   BUILDCACHE_OCI_PASSWORD="###ACCESS_TOKEN###"

For both concretization and binary caches, the cache version can be changed via the attributes cache_version_concretize and cache_version_build. The default values are v1.

Before using this library, the following tool must be installed on Linux distribution:

    apt install -y bzip2 ca-certificates g++ gcc gfortran git gzip lsb-release patch python3 python3-pip tar unzip xz-utils zstd

    python3 -m pip install --upgrade pip setuptools wheel
