Setup with Docker
Containers for the Mock Event Generator are stored in the Gitlab Container Registry. To access it, a Personal Access Token (with at least the read_registry scope) is required. To login:
Upon successful login, the latest Docker image can be run. It contains a pre-loaded mock super-event from GraceDB playground. By creating a docker volume for the Mock Event Generator cache, downloaded events can be persisted. It is possible to use the host x509 certificate:
docker volume create meg-cache
docker run --pull always -it --rm \
-v meg-cache:/home/meguser/.cache/mock-event-generator \
-v /tmp/x509up_u$(id -u):/tmp/x509up_u1000 \
containers.ligo.org/emfollow/mock-event-generator:latest bash
It is also possible not to bind the host x509 certificate to the container, but rather executing ligo-proxy-init inside the container:
docker volume create meg-cache
docker run --pull always -it --rm \
-v meg-cache:/home/meguser/.cache/mock-event-generator \
containers.ligo.org/emfollow/mock-event-generator:latest bash
meguser@f8e5602cb5d7:~$ ligo-proxy-init albert.einstein
Enter password for 'albert.einstein' on login.ligo.org:
Commands in the docker image can then be issued:
meguser@f8e5602cb5d7:~$ meg cache list
Cache: /home/meguser/.cache/mock-event-generator
