Minimal requirements

In order to run DiracX in production we recommend having:

  • DIRAC v9: DiracX can not yet work standalone, but alongside an existing DIRAC v9 installation. Note that DIRAC v9 has as dependencies:
    • MySQL Minimum MySQL version 8 or MariaDB equivalent.
    • OpenSearch version 2 or 3.
  • S3-compatible storage for storing jobs' sandboxes
  • An IdP supporting OAuth/OIDC (e.g. Indigo IAM)

At the time of writing, the only fully supported way of running DiracX is through Kubernetes.

If you need to decouple your DIRAC v9 upgrade from a kubernetes deployment, you can deploy DiracX in a container. This has only been tested in conjunction with a DIRAC v9.0 deployment. In this case, your starting point is: Prepare a node for container deployment.

The following chapters will NOT cover:

  • DIRAC v9 installation. If you are new to DIRAC, defer to the existing DIRAC documentation.
  • The installation of dependencies (MySQL, OpenSearch, object store). If you have hosted services available, we recommend using them.
