Create OpenStack server for EFI forecasting runs

[KristinaRiemer]

• [x] Create machine
• [x] Install R, python, packages
• [x] Set up accounts for Kristina, David, Jessica

Moved to #40:

• [ ] Copy model scripts over
• [ ] Set up chron job(s)
• [ ] Test submission works

[KristinaRiemer]

Initial MVP:

• OpenStack server
• Docker container with R and necessary R packages
• Runs script that pulls down gcc data, runs simple model, and pushes submission
• Chron job set up at server level to run once per day

Next step is to do this for Debasmita's random forest model, which will have more complicated data cleaning (weather) and R and Python scripts.

We're going to be doing (approximately) one container per model.

These are for running and submitting forecasts, not for model development.

Notes from watching Chris create Openstack server:

• Log into openstack
• Domain: cso; Chris' account
• cals one
• Launch new instance
• Called "EFI Forecasting"
• ubuntu 20.04 gpu capable
• 100GB boot volume
• large3 68GB 8 cpus
• exosphere security group, allows for ssh
• key pair to create ssh key for root: EFI Forecasting as name, save private key in a local file (Chris), will need it later to ssh into root
• Has internal IP address, also creating a floating IP address to go to machine with
• Changed permissions on private key file
• ssh into forecasting server
• become root w/ sudo -i, then apt update
• attach volume to server instance
• create new volume called EFI, with 200GB space
• edit volume by managing volume attachment
• /dev/vda is main volume, /dev/vdb is attached volume
• can see /dev/vda in server, but doesn't know about latter yet
• python3 instead of python, python came with ubuntu
• install pip
• apt update
• will install r and r packages
• give chris our public keys to be able to ssh into server
• rsync/sftp/whatever files into server
• will have to set up chron job
