This package collects official and third-party plugins for the COBalD / TARDIS resource manager.

The plugins work like the basic COBalD/TARDIS components: install the package and the plugins are automatically available in configuration and code.

The package is directly available via pip and must be installed to the same python3 environment as COBalD/TARDIS.

$ python3 -m pip install cobald-hep-plugins

Consult the documentation on how to use individual plugins.

You are free to publish and maintain plugins yourself. All COBalD/TARDIS plugins are just regular Python packages which set some specific metadata.

Plugins in this repository are reviewed by the COBalD/TARDIS team and maintained with similar standards as the core frameworks.

Before proposing a plugin, please reach out to us for advise. This could be for example via email, chats, or just opening a ticket.

To add a new plugin, head to our GitHub repository and open a pull request that adds your plugin. Plugins are modules or sub-packages in the cobald_hep_plugins folder that can also come with additional meta-data. See the cobald_hep_plugins/example as a template.

In addition to the plugin itself, you should provide

• unittests in a tests subfolder, and
• documentation in a docs/plugins file or subfolder.
