ocifit

Determine if a container is fit for an environment using OCI artifacts

This tool is intended for the HPC community to assess the fit of an application container to a cloud environment.

Design

We want to:

1. Generate compatibility artifacts for a set of containers (from Dockerfile or URI).
2. Generate node feature groups that can describe nodes in an HPC cluster, or a Kubernetes cluster.
3. Assess how well a set of containers matches a node feature group
4. Return a recommended list.

To start, I will use the Gemini API to take a Dockerfile or container URI and go up one level (parent) to derive software.

Development

Install dependencies and shell in:

pixi install
pixi shell

And export your GEMINI_TOKEN

export GEMINI_TOKEN=xxxxxxxxx

Then test against an image, optionally adding a uri to include.

ocifit compat --uri ghcr.io/converged-computing/lammps-reax:ubuntu2204 ./Dockerfile

Try using a different parser:

ocifit compat --uri ghcr.io/converged-computing/lammps-reax:ubuntu2204 ./Dockerfile --parser nfd

By default, parsed parent images are saved to a cache in ~/.ocifit. If you add --save and provide a URI with --uri, your image will be as well. Note that this currently doesn't parse into a proper artifact because we still need to think about how the key/value pairs will work.
