Docker Stack for AiiDAlab

This repository contains the Dockerfiles for the official AiiDAlab docker image stack. All images are based on the jupyter/minimal-notebook.

Image variants:

Supported tags (released on Docker Hub):

In addition, images are also released internally on the GitHub Container registry (ghcr.io). Pull requests into the default branch are further released on ghcr.io with the pr-### tag to simplify the testing of development versions.

Quickstart

You can launch a container based on one of our published images directly with Docker, by executing for example the following command:

docker run -it -p 8888:8888 aiidalab/full-stack

However, we recommend to use AiiDAlab Launch to run images locally for production environments.

Note: On recent versions of Mac OS-X you will have to select a different port, since port 8888 is already in use by one of the system services.

Known limitations

Development

Development environment

The repository uses the doit automation tool to automate tasks related to this repository, including building, testing, and locally deploying Docker images with docker-compose.

To use this system, setup a build end testing environment and install the dependencies with:

pip install -r requirements.txt

Build images locally

To build the images, run doit build (tested with docker buildx version v0.8.2).

The build system will attempt to detect the local architecture and automatically build images for it (tested with amd64 and arm64). All commands build, tests, and up will use the locally detected platform and use a version tag based on the state of the local git repository. However, you can also specify a custom platform or version with the --platform and --version parameters, example: doit build --arch=arm64 --version=my-version.

By default, all image variants are build. You can specify a single target image variant to build with -t/--target, example: doit build --target base.

Run automated tests

To run tests, first build the images as described in the previous section. Then run the automated tests for a given image with doit tests --target <base|base-with-services|lab|full-stack>.

Tip: The continuous integration workflow will build, release (at ghcr.io/aiidalab/*:pr-###), and test images for all pull requests into the default branch.

For manual testing, you can start the images with doit up --target full-stack, however we recommend to use aiidalab-launch to setup a production-ready local deployment.

Continuous integration

Images are built for linux/amd64 and linux/arm64 during continuous integration for all pull requests into the default branch and pushed to the GitHub Container Registry (ghcr.io) with tags ghcr.io/aiidalab/*:pr-###. You can run automated or manual tests against those images by specifying the registry and version for both the up and tests commands, example: doit tests --registry=ghcr.io/ --version=pr-123.

Creating a release

We use a calendar versioning scheme (e.g. v2022.1001), and we automate the release with bumpver. To create a release, make sure your are on an up-to-date main branch and run:

bumpver update

This will update the version in bumpver.toml, make a commit, tag it, and then push both to the repository to kick off the build and release flow.

Deploy AiiDAlab with aiidalab-launch

The aiidalab-launch tool provides a convenient and robust method of both launching and managing one or multiple AiiDAlab instances on your computer. To use it, simply install it via pipx

pipx install aiidalab-launch

and then start AiiDAlab container with

aiidalab-launch start

Note: AiiDAlab will keep running until you explicitly stop it with aiidalab-launch stop or shutdown/restart your computer.

Please see aiidalab-launch --help for a full list of available commands and options.

Cloud and other deployments

Please see the AiiDAlab documentation for information on how to use and deploy AiiDAlab docker images in alternative ways.
