6 Starting an IRPsim Agent

Since the CPU resources on one machine might not be sufficient for running IRPsim, it is possible to create an IRPsim agent on a remote server (bare metal usually works better than VMs here). This requires access to the servereinrichtung repo (gitolite3@irpsim.uni-leipzig.de:servereinrichtung.git).

To start the remote server, execute the following steps:

  • Install git, docker, docker-compose and tmux on the system (differs depending on distribution)
  • Clone the repo: git clone gitolite3@irpsim.uni-leipzig.de:servereinrichtung.git
  • Create an SSH tunnel: ssh -N -L 5000:localhost:5000 username@mainVM, so the docker images can be pulled
  • Start the local IRPsim server: ./start_version.sh $branch $UIPORT $BACKENDPORT $JMX_PORT $BACKEND_DATA_FOLDER $DATABASE_PASSWORD $MEMORY_PER_JOB $SUBNETMASK $MEMORYLIMIT $PARALLEL_JOBS, for example ./start_version.sh main 8080 8282 90000 localFolder $DATABASE_PASSWORD 10.5.0.0/24 10G -Xmx5g 10
  • To allow access, you'll need to configure the connection from the main server to the agent, e.g., by adding to /etc/apache2/sites-available/default-ssl.conf something like
        ProxyPass         /backend-myserver/ http://myserver.de:8282/
        ProxyPassReverse  /backend-myserver/ http://myserver.de:8282/

        ProxyPass         /artifacts/ui-client-myserver/ http://myserver.de:8080/
        ProxyPassReverse  /artifacts/ui-client-myserver/ http://myserver.de:8080/
