haxpes-pods

This repository contains the beamline-specific configuration and services for the haxpes beamline. It is designed to work with the nbs-pods framework.

Prerequisites

• nbs-pods repository cloned in the same parent directory as this repository
• Docker and docker-compose installed

Directory Structure

• compose/: Contains beamline-specific services and overrides
  • beamline/: Beamline-specific services
  • override/: Customizations of nbs-pods services
• config/: Contains beamline-specific configuration
• scripts/: Contains deployment and utility scripts
  • deploy.sh: Main deployment script
  • services.sh: Defines beamline-specific services

Service Management

The services.sh file declares which services are specific to your beamline. This file is sourced by deploy.sh and should define a BEAMLINE_SERVICES array. Each service listed in this array should have a corresponding directory in compose/beamline/.

For example, if your beamline has a custom detector service:

# scripts/services.sh
BEAMLINE_SERVICES=(
    "custom-detector"    # Uses compose/beamline/custom-detector/
)

Service Configuration Files

Each service can have up to three configuration files:

1. docker-compose.yml: Base configuration

   • Required for all services
   • Contains the core service definition

2. docker-compose.override.yml: Standard overrides

   • Optional
   • Always applied if present
   • Use for permanent customizations

3. docker-compose.development.yml: Development settings

   • Optional
   • Only applied when using --dev flag
   • Use for development-specific settings (volumes, ports, etc.)

For example, to override a base service from nbs-pods:

compose/
└── override/
    └── bsui/
        ├── docker-compose.yml          # Base configuration
        ├── docker-compose.override.yml # Always applied
        └── docker-compose.development.yml # Applied with --dev flag

Usage

To start all services:

./scripts/deploy.sh start           # Normal mode
./scripts/deploy.sh start --dev     # Development mode

To start specific services:

./scripts/deploy.sh start service1 service2
./scripts/deploy.sh start service1 --dev service2  # service2 in dev mode

To stop all services:

./scripts/deploy.sh stop

Configuration

1. Edit config/ipython/profile_default/startup/beamline.toml to configure beamline settings
2. Edit config/ipython/profile_default/startup/devices.toml to configure devices
3. Add beamline-specific services in compose/beamline/
4. Define beamline services in scripts/services.sh
