Manage conversions as Kubernetes Jobs

[sneumann]

Hi,
simplest thing is to execute the conversion from withing the openapi_server. An improved architecture uses docker containers to perform the actual conversion, but that is still on the openapi_server machine, and does usually not work if that itself is running inside a docker.

Coolest way is launching the conversion containers as kubernetes jobs, just like Galaxy is doing, see https://github.com/galaxyproject/galaxy/blob/release_18.01/lib/galaxy/jobs/runners/kubernetes.py#L118 .

A minimum example without dependency on Galaxy is started in https://gist.github.com/sneumann/c6976aaf771dbb6b2de7d6291f688778
