Participants: - Giovanni - Chris - Xing - Jason - Miki - Francisco - Daniel ## AiiDA standalone Xing is working on show case rabbitmq free aiida and plan to make it the showcase as "Quick Start". - Covalent and Airflow has this "Quick Start" section before the installation - Gio: need to highlight it is not for production. Need to rephrase the concept section and clearly direct to the Quick start section. - Xing show case with this temp AiiDA verdi in jupyter notebook. - Gio: explain in ipynb say the `%verdi` is for notebook only. - Gio: need to add a comment on `%verdi` and explain. - Chris: if just show the quick start very simple, people may don't want to use AiiDA. - Xing: The highlight features need in the first page. - Gio: the second part of Quick start should be the HPC, it can not do without PSQL and RMQ but need more explains on how to realize it. Then even WorkChain. - Gio: need use this Quick start to attract more potential users, show the good feature of AiiDA one sentence and link to the doc. ### Profile setup syntax To create a temporary profile use `verdi --porfile/-p` , first we need to agree on the profile syntax. ``` - verdi -p :memory: shell - verdi -p profile_name shell # profile name could be a production, or, sqlite-dos if it was setup already by the user using verdi profile setup core.sqlite_dos -n --profile sqlite-dos - verdi -p :temp: [-P/--path=optional_path] shell -> create a sqlite+dos live in /tmp if we manage, we clean it up when verdi exits (catch ExitError) - or put trap the exceptions - verdi -p :archive: -P/--path=/path/to/archive shell -> load the archive ``` Open a issue regarding this. ## AiiDA ready-to-use container Jason is working on the new docker stack, and it can now start an ready to use AiiDA environment with one command. Q1: who may use this? Can this become a production environment? - codespace ✅ - TODO: `.devcontainer` -> cookiecutter. so new plugin can have this in there repo. - aiida-core developers? Check QeApp and have similar documentation tell people when to use which. - plugin developers? (See codespace how to improve the UX) - for tutorial? :question: - check the 3 days tutorial and this one should replace `aiidalab-launch`. Gio: be careful with the Error message when starting the container, redirect to not show to frighten user.
