conda-ioc

template for an isolated conda environment IOC

• with procServ/conserver config options
• with an example of hosting some EPICS PVs using pypvserver

Usage

1. Edit config

   NAME=conda-ioc
   PORT=4001
   HOST=xf03id-srv1
   USER=softioc
   
   # conda-related options:
   CONDA_ENV=conda_ioc
   # CONDA_ROOT=$PWD/mc
   CONDA_ROOT=/tmp/ramdisk/condaioc
   PACKAGES=ophyd

   NAME should be set to the IOC name. PORT should be what manage-iocs nextport gives HOST should be updated depending on the machine it's being run on CONDA_ENV can be left as-is PACKAGES should be set to the conda packages required

2. Tweak custom_install.sh if any non-conda packages should be installed. This example installs both pcaspy and pypvserver from their respective git repositories.

3. Install/enable the IOC to automatically start on reboot

   sudo manage-iocs install conda-ioc
   sudo manage-iocs enable conda-ioc

4. Update conserver

   sudo update-iocs-cf
   sudo service conserver reload

5. Start the IOC

   sudo service softioc-conda-ioc start

6. Check its status

   manage-iocs status
   console conda-ioc
