NOTE: The interfaces of flux-accounting are being actively developed and are not yet stable. The Github issue tracker is the primary way to communicate with the developers.

flux-accounting

Development for a bank/accounting interface for the Flux resource manager. Writes and saves user account information to persistent storage using Python's SQLite3 API. Calculates fair-share values for users and banks based on historical job data. Generates job priority values for users with a multi-factor priority plugin.

Install Instructions

For instructions for using a VSCode Development Container, see this document in flux-core. You'll want to create the environment and proceed with the steps below to build.

Building From Source

./autogen.sh
./configure --localstatedir=/var/
make -j
make check

To configure flux-accounting with a specific version of Python, pass the PYTHON_VERSION environment variable on the ./configure line (note: flux- accounting needs to be configured against the same version of Python as flux-core that it is configured against; this is the default behavior of ./configure if you choose the same prefix for flux-core and flux-accounting):

PYTHON_VERSION=3.7 ./configure --localstatedir=/var/

Testing

To run the unit tests in a Docker container, or launch into an interactive container on your local machine, you can run docker-run-checks.sh:

$ ./src/test/docker/docker-run-checks.sh --no-cache --no-home -I --
