To ensure that the Monitor can be easily installed on our instrument control machines, most of which are expected to run Windows, we need installers that will easily install this package and all of its dependencies. Written in Python, development is split over two repositories: the core GUI and generic operations are available through a public Github repo, while the operations that are specific to the Franklin (the extensions) are being developed in a private Gitlab repository. Our team at the Franklin is currently developing the RFI-File-Monitor, which will be used to archive, process and catalogue the data that is collected at our institute, according to a user-defined pipeline of operations that is applied to every file that occurs in an observed directory. At the very end you will find a Gist with the Ansible playbook and the associated files.īut before going into details, first a bit of background as to why I had to do all of this. I will finish this post with an example of how you can make use of this runner from within a Gitlab-CI configuration file. Install and launch a Gitlab-CI runner with docker-windows executor.Build our Docker images: vsbuildtools2019, miniconda3, miniforge3.

Initialize, partition and format the EBS volume.Create and attach an EBS volume to the instance.Create an EC2 instance using a Windows Server 2019 image.In this blogpost I will cover how to use Ansible to do all of the following in a single playbook:
