Batch Connect - OSC QGIS

An interactive app designed for OSC OnDemand that launches QGIS within an Owens batch job.

Prerequisites

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):

• Lmod 6.0.1+ or any other module purge and module load <modules> based CLI used to load appropriate environments within the batch job before launching the container.
• XFCE is used to provide the window manager and terminal access if desired
• OSC/sa_singularity_qgis which provides QGIS version 3.4.12

Install

Use Git to clone this app and checkout the desired branch/version you want to use:

scl enable rh-git29 -- git clone <repo>
cd <dir>
scl enable rh-git29 -- git checkout <tag/branch>

You will not need to do anything beyond this as all necessary assets are installed. You will also not need to restart this app as it isn't a Passenger app.

To update the app you would:

cd <dir>
scl enable rh-git29 -- git fetch
scl enable rh-git29 -- git checkout <tag/branch>

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