NOVA Dashboard

The NOVA dashboard provides an interface through which users can quickly launch tools with interactive user interfaces. It is currently hosted at https://nova.ornl.gov, and a test instance is available at https://nova-test.ornl.gov.

Deployment​

The dashboard is currently deployed via an Ansible role in our monorepo for deployments. This role ultimately runs a Docker container on the same machine that hosts https://calvera.ornl.gov (or https://calvera-test.ornl.gov).

Updating the Dashboard Version​

To update the dashboard, change the nova_dashboard_image variable to the tag of the new image here.

Changing the Deployment Environment​

To change the environment variables used in the deployment, update the Ansible group variables or host variables. You'll need to use Ansible Vault to update secrets.yml. The vault password is the same as the one used for Calvera and can be found here.

Managing the List of Tools​

If you need to add or remove tools from the dashboard, then please refer to the configuration guide for tools in the developer guide.
