Slurm Plugin-testing Container

A Docker container for developing and testing slurm plugins. This image uses slurm compiled with the --enable-multiple-slurmd option. This allows multiple slurm daemons to run on the same host and avoids needing multiple images for each node.

Building

Run make to build the Docker image.

Running

Run make run to launch the container. The number of virtual slurm nodes to start is given as a commandline parameter to the docker image in the Makefile. The default is three nodes.

At startup, the slurm.conf file is generated with the container hostname and number of requested nodes before starting the slurm controller and node daemons.

Once running, use ./run_slurm_examples to build and example jobs.
