Selecting machines to submit projects to is specified in the remotes.json file. It can contain either a plain list of machine names or a list of complex options describing the machine as well as passing custom values. Using this file is optional.
Example 6: Machine Selection
{
"hosts": [
{
"name": "machine_01",
"settings": [
{
"type": "integer",
"name": "num_parallel",
"value": 2,
"minimum": 1,
"maximum": 16,
"description": "Degree of parallelism"
}
]
},
{
"name": "machine_02",
"settings": []
}
],
"users": [
{
"name": "anna",
"hosts": ["machine_01"]
},
{
"name": "bert",
"hosts": ["machine_01", "machine_02"]
}
]
}
Wizards can use the /get_remote_dispatch_list REST API endpoint to
fetch the defined submit locations and present a selection widget within the user
interface. Placeholder Wizards already implement this functionality.
