Cluster Boot Service (CBS)

A web service that solves first-boot, start-dependency and node allocation through dynamic script creation for Hydra compute clusters. It also provides a unified web interface for provisioning clusters, managing individual clusters and tasks as well as querying job data.

Getting Started

• npm install swig
• npm install node-uuid
• place your executable jar in config/image/default/lib/hydra.jar
• node start boothost=[HYDRA_BOOT]
• [HYDRA_BOOT] is the host:port of the CBS host as seen from booting nodes
• create account http://[HYDRA_BOOT]/api/create_account
• open the web interface at http://[HYDRA_BOOT] and enter your account ID

Boot Cluster Node

• bash <(curl -s "http://[HYDRA_BOOT]/boot?cluster=[CLUSTER_ID]")
• to boot a localstack, use localstack as your [CLUSTER_ID]
