This system is the primary linux workstation in the office and needs to have the basic apps for a graphic workstation:

  • KDE Plasma Desktop
  • Mate terminal (Ubuntu app)
  • VideoLAN media player (https://videolan.org/vlc/download-redhat.html)
  • Visual Studio Code (vscode - https://code.visualstudio.com/download)
  • Calibre library manager (download)
  • HPCMP Kerberos Kit (https://centers.hpc.mil)
    • CAC software (CA CoolKey?)
  • Kontena Lens (download latest)
  • Thunderbird
  • Slack
  • Synergy (v1)
  • NVIDIA drivers (default with kubuntu/nonfree)
  • Zoom client
  • Firefox
  • rclone (for google & dropbox mounts)
  • pdsh
  • Oracle Java (the real thing) for the Dell Storage manager
  • minio client (mc) for gitlab backup -- there is a copy in /work/bin if that will work for the platform.
  • Dell Equalogic Group Manager (java webstart - requires iSCSInet interface below and Oracle Java)

Configurations:

  • mount /work and /files filesystems
  • configure extra network devices
    • StorageNet (10.1.0.8) - use the second ethernet interface
    • iSCSInet (10.2.0.200) - done via VLAN 15 on the StorageNet interface
  • set up dropbox/google drive mounts (gdrives script in /work/bin)

Tasks/Applications (in addition to normal housekeeping):

  • cron daily:
    • check-all (moved to pro6)
    • Backup GitLab (moved to caspian)
      • mount storage1:/backup/systems to /backup_systems
      • install the cert for the gitlab instance (since it is self-signed)
