Setting up Open OnDemand
What is it?
Open OnDemand is a portal to run web applications to help add ease of use functionality to any Compute Cluster. It provides the following apps out of the box which I shall go through the configuration of using my trusty virtual TrinityX cluster on my file server.
- Home directory browser with editor
- Active Job Viewer
- Job creator
- Cluster Shell
- Remote Visualisation

Install RPMs on Portal node
yum install centos-release-scl yum install https://yum.osc.edu/ondemand/1.5/ondemand-release-web-1.5-1.el7.noarch.rpm yum install ondemand systemctl start httpd24-httpd

Configure Modules for TurboVNC and websockify
TurboVNC
I cheat and install TurboVNC from the RPM downloaded from the TuboVNC website locally and then copy the /opt/TurboVNC directory into the shared apps folder and then use the following module for the computes
yum install turbovnc-2.2.2.x86_64.rpm
cp /opt/TurboVNC /trinity/shared/apps/ -r
cat /trinity/shared/modules/tr17.10/x86_64/compiler/turbovnc/2.2.2
#%Module
#
# @name: TurboVNC
# @version: 2.2.2
# @packaging: BIOS IT
#
# Customize the output of `module help` command
# ---------------------------------------------
proc ModulesHelp { } {
puts stderr "\tAdds $name to your environment variables"
puts stderr "\t\t\$PATH, \$MANPATH"
}
# Customize the output of `module whatis` command
# -----------------------------------------------
module-whatis "loads the [module-info name] environment"
# Define internal modulefile variables (Tcl script use only)
# ----------------------------------------------------------
set name TurboVNC
set version 2.2.2
set prefix /trinity/shared/apps/$name/$version
# Check if the path exists before modifying environment
# -----------------------------------------------------
if {![file exists $prefix]} {
puts stderr "\t[module-info name] Load Error: $prefix does not exist"
break
exit 1
}
# Update common variables in the environment
# ------------------------------------------
prepend-path PATH $prefix/bin
prepend-path MANPATH $prefix/man
setenv TURBONVNC_DIR $prefix
Websockify
I install this on the controller and set PYTHONPATH and use the --home= option so that it will end up in the shared apps folder The setup.py will try to install numpy on the node and in Centos 7 this breaks, pre-empt by installing from rpm FIRST
yum install numpy
git clone https://github.com/novnc/websockify
cd websockify
mkdir -p /trinity/shared/apps/websockify/0.8.0
PYTHONPATH=/trinity/shared/apps/websockify/0.8.0/lib/python python ./setup.py install --home=/trinity/shared/apps/websockify/0.8.0
