A SandBox template Batch Connect app designed for Cheaha OnDemand that launches a GUI module on Cheaha

This app has been adapted from OSC's matlab repo

This Batch Connect app requires the following software be installed on the compute nodes that the batch job is intended to run on (NOT the OnDemand node):

• Software/App that needs to be run
• [Xfce Desktop] 4+

For VNC server support:

• [TurboVNC] 2.1+
• [websockify] 0.8.0+

For hardware rendering support:

• [X server]
• [VirtualGL] 2.3+

Setup sandbox on your profile by following the instructions here

Go to your DATA_USER/ondemand/dev directory, and clone this repo there

Use git to clone this app:

git clone https://github.com/uabrc/sandbox_app_template.git SOFTWARE_NAME

Open manifest.yml file and change SOFTWARE_NAME and SOFTWARE_LINK variables appropriately.

Open form.yml, and uncomment version section:

 version:
    widget: select
    label: "SOFTWARE_NAME version"
    help: "This defines the version of SOFTWARE_NAME you want to load."
    options:
      - [ "display_version", "corresponding_cheaha_module" ]

NOTE: Change SOFTWARE_NAME appropriately. Under options change display_version to the the version that you want to display on teh form, and change corresponding_cheaha_module to matching module name on cheaha. For example, to load FSL version 6.0.3, you can change the above to :

 version:
    widget: select
    label: "FSL version"
    help: "This defines the version of FSL you want to load."
    options:
      - [ "6.0.3", "FSL/6.0.3" ]

Open script.sh.erb , and at end add the execute command to launch GUI app. For example, to launch FSL, at the end I'll add

# Launch your GUI app
fsl

Change icon.png to appropriate Software logo

Your Dev app should be available now, for you to launch.

Again, you do not need to restart the app as it isn't a Passenger app.
