Localhost Deployment Applications

Welcome to the Localhost Deployment Applications Documentation!

We provide a suite of production-like applications configured to work on a laptop or dev machine to help users get started using Vantage without needing a cloud account or credit card!

After completing the prereqs for your desired use case below, you will be ready to use the Vantage CLI to stand up localhost based compute infrastructure compatible with the Vantage platform.

Localhost Provider Prereqs​

To use the localhost deployment applications you will need to install the prereqs, depending on your use case.

MicroK8S​

We use microk8s for a k8s sandbox on localhost.

To use the localhost deployment applications on microk8s, install microk8s first.

Install MicroK8S​

sudo snap install microk8s --channel 1.29/stable --classic

Configure MicroK8S​

sudo microk8s.enable hostpath-storage
sudo microk8s.enable dns
sudo microk8s.enable metallb:10.64.140.43-10.64.140.49

sudo usermod -a -G microk8s $USER
sudo chown -f -R $USER ~/.kube

newgrp microk8s

MicroK8S is now configured to work with the Vantage platform! Proceed to MicroK8S Deployment Applications to start deploying!

Multipass​

Use multipass to launch a singlenode virtual-machine slurm cluster with the Vantage CLI.

To use the multipass localhost Deployment Applications, install multipass first.

Install Multipass​

sudo snap install multipass

Verify Multipass Installation​

multipass --version

Multipass is now installed. Proceed to the Multipass Singlenode Deployment Application Documentation.

Charmed HPC​

The Vantage CLI provides charmed-hpc, currated to run in containers and vms on your labtop or local machine.

Install lxd and juju​

sudo snap install juju --channel 3.6/stable
sudo snap install lxd --channel latest/stable

Initalize LXD​

sudo lxd init --auto
sudo adduser $USER lxd
lxc network set lxdbr0 ipv6.nat false

Bootstrap Juju​

juju bootstrap localhost

At this point you have bootstrapped a localhost juju controller on a lxd container and are ready to deploy! Proceed to the Charmed-HPC Deployment Application Documentation.
