Oncat Proxy

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 Oncat Proxy Version

To update the proxy, change the oncat_proxy_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.
