The ligo-ssh
container is intended for members of the LIGO-Virgo Collaboartion
who need to connect to grid resources via
GSI-OpenSSH on platforms not supported
by gsissh.
The default entrypoint for the container is a script which prompts the user
for their LIGO.ORG username and provides it as an argument for the
ligo-proxy-init
tool. By default, the entrypoint will connect to the primary
Caltech headnode, but it may be overridden as an argument at container
invocation. The container must be run as an interactive termainal, e.g.
to connect to Caltech:
docker run -it containers.ligo.org/docker/ligo-ssh:stretch
or to UWM:
docker run -it containers.ligo.org/docker/ligo-ssh:stretch submit.ligo.uwm.edu
Notice the examples above use stretch
or Debian v9 containers. You may also the the el7
containers for Scientific Linux 7.
A menu system like that found on ssh.ligo.org
may be a way to make the
container more user-friendly.
