[Qlustar-General] QluMan containerization
Hello, I have a node where I've installed QluMan 10.1.1 so I can configure the Cluster using the GUI. Now this node is NOT added to the cluster (i.e. not currently booting any OS image) so it's somewhat "wasted". As far as I understood the OS images are executed in the nodes in RAM memory. So theoretically I could boot this node with an OS image and later mount the fs to try qluman-10.1.1.19-singularity.sqsh however I don't see how that could work because of lib compatibility. Is that correct/feasible? And I wonder if there is a container image already built specifically to run the qluman.sqsh application. I couldn't find none so far and I wanted to ask before starting to explore this path. What do you recommend? Cheers, Hernán

Hi Hernán, the best way is to install singularity >= 2.6 on your workstation. Then you can just run qluman-qt from there.
