Here are several things you can check to make sure you are ready for the summer school.
Attendee Checklist
Download and install the FermiBottle container following the Installation instructions.
Start and attach to the container following the usage instructions.
Once in the container.
Check that X-windows works by, e.g., launching ds9 (or xeyes for more fun).
Check that you can see the shared directory in both the container and system OS.
Activate the 'fermi' environment with conda.
Check that Fermitools work.
- Check that the GBM Data Tools work.
To help, we've created a run through below and short Jupyter notebook you can download to demonstrate these steps.
Fermitools Example Run Through
Here's an example session on a Mac. I created a directory called fermi_summer_school and a file in it called this_is_the_share_directory just so something shows up in a directory listing. Note that its name does not matter, and you can create it wherever you like or use an existing directory. This directory will be visible from the container. I then pulled the FermiBottle image from Docker and started it.
(base) user@host % mkdir fermi_summer_school (base) user@host % cd fermi_summer_school (base) user@host fermi_summer_school % touch this_is_the_share_directory (base) user@host fermi_summer_school % ls this_is_the_share_directory (base) user@host fermi_summer_school % docker pull fssc/fermibottle Pulling from fssc/fermibottle Digest: sha256:f041b634d1b3a6d3a4e3276c8bac486de47a1839365c0a0826569da40c5a9b47 Status: Image is up to date for fssc/fermibottle docker.io/fssc/fermibottle (base) user@host fermi_summer_school % xhost + 127.0.0.1 && \ docker create -it --init \ -e HOST_USER_ID=`id -u $USER` \ -e DISPLAY=host.docker.internal:0 \ -v "`pwd`":/data \ -p 8888:8888 \ fssc/fermibottle 127.0.0.1 being added to access control list be68136958ad303810707e78b08080c20490fcdc2ee4b061fb46f464b997e7a4 (base) user@host fermi_summer_school % docker ps -a CONTAINER ID IMAGE COMMAND CREATED STATUS PORTS NAMES be68136958ad fssc/fermibottle "/opt/docker/bin/ent…" 19 seconds ago Created silly_pasteur (base) user@host fermi_summer_school % docker start be68136958ad be68136958ad (base) user@host fermi_summer_school % docker attach be68136958ad
This puts me in the container. You should notice that the prompt is now the "fermi" user and the container ID. Note that you only have to run the xhost command once. If you quit the container, you will have to run the start and attach commands to return to it.
I launched ds9 to make sure X-windows are working. Quit it (assuming it works) and change to the shared directory, which is under /data in the container.
(base) [fermi@be68136958ad ~]$ ds9 (base) [fermi@be68136958ad ~]$ cd /data (base) [fermi@be68136958ad data]$ ls this_is_the_share_directory
Back on the host system, download this file, Quick_Test.zip, and put it in the shared directory. Then, unzip it which will create a directory.
(base) user@host fermi_summer_school % unzip Quick_Test.zip Archive: Quick_Test.zip creating: Quick_Test/ inflating: Quick_Test/Quick_Test.ipynb inflating: Quick_Test/SC00.fits inflating: Quick_Test/3C279_1deg_gti.fits (base) user@host fermi_summer_school % ls Quick_Test/ Quick_Test.zip this_is_the_share_directory
In the container, you should see the change:
(base) [fermi@be68136958ad data]$ ls Quick_Test Quick_Test.zip this_is_the_share_directory
Now start the "fermi" environment and the Jupyter notebook server:
(base) [fermi@be68136958ad data]$ conda activate fermi
(fermi) [fermi@be68136958ad data]$ cd Quick_Test
(fermi) [fermi@be68136958ad Quick_Test]$ ls
3C279_1deg_gti.fits 3C279_1deg_lc.fits Quick_Test.ipynb SC00.fits
(fermi) [fermi@be68136958ad data]$ notebook

[I 19:02:00.685 NotebookApp] Jupyter Notebook 6.3.0 is running at:

To access the notebook, open this file in a browser:
file:///home/fermi/.local/share/jupyter/runtime/nbserver-606-open.html
Or copy and paste one of these URLs:
http://00.00.00.00:8888/?token=f1c9ca8c84b17e3ebbd6394eaab36aab1a9ee52d61092436
or http://127.0.0.1:8888/?token=f1c9ca8c84b17e3ebbd6394eaab36aab1a9ee52d61092436
You can paste one of the http URLs into the browser (I used the 00.00.00.00 one) on your host machine and should see something like:
Click on the Quick_test.ipynb file to open it. You can then run the notebook by select Cell->Run All from the menu bar. It runs one of the Fermitools (gtbin) and then creates a lightcurve. You should then end up with a notebook that looks like this:
Congratulations, things seem to be working!
