Sessions
We present our experience of leveraging several publicly available container projects for RStudio Server and PostGIS/PostgreSQL Open OnDemand interactive apps. These containers have pre-configured software stacks that facilitate easier application-specific package installation by users, reducing user support requests on computing center staff. This talk describes the user-friendly OOD interfaces to these complex apps and how the containers are launched on an HPC cluster with Singularity.
