HTCondor-CE

---

A site grid gatekeeper technology based solely on HTCondor components.

This package is simply a thin set of wrappers around HTCondor, allowing you to run a HTCondor-CE without disrupting a site HTCondor install.

For example, condor_ce_q is the HTCondor-CE equivalent to condor_q for the HTCondor-CE processes. This package took much of its inspiration - and base code - from OSGs condor-cron package.

Sites are encouraged to install the sub-package htcondor-ce-condor or htcondor-ce-pbs, depending on which batch manager they run.

• Development: HTCondor-CE 4
• Stable: HTCondor-CE 3

Development

1. Build the development container:

   $ docker build -t htcondor-ce-dev -f tests/Dockerfile.dev .
   

   Optionally, specify the following build arguments:

   -  `EL`: CentOS base image to use for the build.
      Accepted values: `8` or `7` (default)
   -  `BUILD_ENV`: specifies the repositories to use for HTCondor/BLAH dependencies.
      Accepted values: `osg` or `uw_build` (default)
   

2. Run the container with the following:

   $ docker run -d \
                --name my-htcondor-ce \
                -v ${PWD}:/src/htcondor-ce \
                -p 9619:9619 \
                -p 8080:80 \
                htcondor-ce-dev
   

3. Make changes to the source, apply them, and reconfigure the CE:

   $ docker exec my-htcondor-ce \
            /bin/sh -c \
              "cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr -DPYTHON_EXECUTABLE=/usr/bin/python3 && \
               make install && \
               condor_ce_restart -fast"
