NAME¶

oci.conf - Slurm configuration file for containers.

DESCRIPTION¶

Slurm supports calling OCI compliant runtimes. oci.conf is an ASCII file which defines parameters used by OCI runtime interface. The file will always be located in the same directory as the slurm.conf.

Parameter names are case insensitive. Any text following a "#" in the configuration file is treated as a comment through the end of that line. Changes to the configuration file take effect upon restart of Slurm daemons.

PARAMETERS¶

The following oci.conf parameters are defined to control the behavior of the --container argument of salloc, srun, and sbatch

ContainerPath

Override path pattern for placement of the generated OCI Container bundle directory. See the section OCI Pattern for details on pattern replacement.

Default is unique directory generated in SlurmdSpoolDir.

CreateEnvFile=(null|newline|disabled)

Create environment file for container. File will have one environment variable per line if value is "newline". File will have each environment variable terminated by a NUL (aka '\0') if value is "null". If value is "disabled", then the environment file will not be created.

Value of "true" is treated as "null" for backwards compatibility. Value of "false" is treated as "disabled" for backwards compatibility.

Note: When CreateEnvFile=newline, any environment variables with a newline will be dropped before writing to the environment file.

Default is "disabled".

DebugFlags

Override debug flags during container operations. See debugflags in slurm.conf.

Default: (disabled)

DisableCleanup

Disable removal of the generated files handed to OCI runtime.

Default: false

DisableHooks

Comma separated list of hook types to disable.

Default: allow all hooks.

EnvExclude

Extended regular expression to filter environment before. This allows for excluding variables to avoid unwanted environment variables inside of containers.

Example: EnvExclude="^(SLURM_CONF|SLURM_CONF_SERVER)="

Default does not exclude any environment variables.

MountSpoolDir

Override pattern for path inside of container to mount ContainerPath. See the section OCI Pattern for details on pattern replacement.

Default: /var/run/slurm/

RunTimeEnvExclude

Extended regular expression to filter environment before calling any RunTime* commands. This allows for excluding variables to avoid unwanted inheritance inside of the OCI runtimes.

Example: RunTimeEnvExclude="^(SLURM_CONF|SLURM_CONF_SERVER)="

Default is not exclude any environment variables.

FileDebug

Override default file logging level during container operations. See SlurmdDebug in slurm.conf.

Default: (disabled)

IgnoreFileConfigJson=(true|false)

Ignore the existence of config.json in OCI bundle path and disable loading config.json if it is present.

Default is false.

RunTimeCreate

Pattern for OCI runtime create operation. See the section OCI Pattern for details on pattern replacement.

Default: (disabled)

RunTimeDelete

Pattern for OCI runtime delete operation. See the section OCI Pattern for details on pattern replacement.

Default: (disabled)

RunTimeKill

Pattern for OCI runtime kill operation. See the section OCI Pattern for details on pattern replacement.

Default: (disabled)

RunTimeQuery

Pattern for OCI runtime query operation (also known as state). See the section OCI Pattern for details on pattern replacement.

Default: (disabled)

RunTimeRun

Pattern for OCI runtime run operation. This is not provided in the OCI runtime specification (<=v1.0) but is provided by multiple OCI runtimes to simplify execution of containers. If provided, it will be used in the place of create and start operations. It avoids the need to poll state of the container resulting in less monitoring overhead. See the section OCI Pattern for details on pattern replacement.

Default: (disabled)

RunTimeStart

Pattern for OCI runtime start operation. See the section OCI Pattern for details on pattern replacement.

Default: (disabled)

SrunPath

Absolute path to srun executable.

Default: (search PATH)

SrunArgs

Additional arguments to pass to srun. Add one SrunArgs entry per argument.

Default: (disabled)

StdIODebug

Override default STDIO logging level during container operations. See SlurmdDebug in slurm.conf.

Default: (disabled)

SyslogDebug

Override default syslog logging level during container operations. See SlurmdSyslogDebug in slurm.conf.

Default: (disabled)

NOTES¶

OCI container support is disabled if oci.conf does not exist. If disabled, any user passing --container will be doing so in a purely advisor manner.

OCI Pattern¶

All of the OCI patterns will replace the following characters:

Replacements:

%%

Replace as "%".

%@

Replace as the command and arguments. Each argument will be enclosed with single quotes and escaped.

%b

Replace as OCI Bundle Path.

%e

Replace as path to file containing environment if CreateEnvFile=true.

%j

Replace as numeric job id.

%m

Replace as spool directory of container as patterned by ContainerPath. If ContainerPath is not configured or ContainerPath contains %m, then replace with SlurmdSpoolDir from slurm.conf(5).

%n

Replace as nodename.

%p

Replace as PID of first processes forked off. Only for use in RunTimeKill or RunTimeDelete.

%r

Replace as original path to rootfs.

%s

Replace as numeric step id.

%t

Replace as numeric step task id.

%u

Replace as user name.

%U

Replace as numeric user id.
