Updating apsim-server #1

Open jbrider opened 2 years ago

How does it find the apsim-server binary? It looks like it should be in the code/apsimx/bin folder, but I can't see where it is defined within the server-manager docker image?

Can you provide the command line for building the apsim-server binary on linux. I assume it will be similar to the one used in the docker file for server-manager, and I will eventually get something running, but will be easier if you can let me what you used to publish it.

Wow, scary how fast you forget this stuff when not working on it :).

How does it find the apsim-server binary?

It assumes the apsim-server binary is on PATH somewhere.

To build: dotnet build

Publishing is a bit more complicated, as there are variables you need to consider like where/how you're running it, but something like this should get you started:

dotnet publish -c Release -f net6.0 -r linux-x64 --no-self-contained /path/to/ServerManager.csproj

It doesn't take long!

I missed the copy into the docker container I think - I was looking at the path variable on the nectar box, not inside the docker image.

So next question is where is the docker file for apsim-server? I think I might look at adding a build of the apsim-server to the docker-compose so it updates everything - so if I can copy it, it will be much easier.

The apsim-server dockerfile is here. It's built and pushed to dockerhub with every apsim release.

Edit: but yes, doing manual rebuilds is useful for getting bugfixes quickly propagated.

Thank you - I hadn't found that repository yet. I thought it was working of the source code on the nectar box - hadn't made the link that it extracted it from the docker image.

I had to make some changes to the apsim file, which needed a newer version of apsim. The update for the apsim file worked perfectly, but didn't update the models.exe at the same time. Planning to make a docker-compose that will update the apsim-server and server-manager at the same time... when I get time.
