## 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.
