Présidents de session
Deployment and packaging of EPICS
- Rémi Nicole (CEA Paris-Saclay)
Description
Hello, fellow packaging and deployment enthusiasts!
Here is the plan
for the upcoming "Packaging and Deployment" workshop
of the 2026 Spring EPICS collaboration meeting.
I'd like the workshop to be a session
where people can show and learn
what's happening in various EPICS-based facilities.
For that I'm going to need you to present some aspects of your installations.
It can be a small (5-15min) presentation, a small demo, or just talking in front of a diagram,
anything that might be interesting to show, really.
Some questions that I'm particularly interested in,
that might help find inspiration:
- How you handle testing your infrastructure
- How you handle embedded devices
- How your administration team and IOC development team collaborate
- The size / composition of your system administration team
- How you monitor your installation and handle alerts
- How you handle backups and recoveries
- How you handle technical support
- How you manage EPICS dependencies
- Do you ensure every deployment deploys the same version of every support module?
- Or do you let developer choose their own version?
- Do you update deployed software regularly?
- If so, what's the process? How much time does it take for the team?
- If not, how do you handle installing older software?
You don't have to answer all questions
and you can come up with your own questions
to ask the other participants,
as long as it's related to packaging and deployment.
If you have a something you'd like to show or ask,
please send me an email
so that I have an estimate
of the number of presentations.
As a motivator,
keep in mind that any proposed presentation
is preventing me from selling Nix and NixOS
during the workshop.
