Inputs

Most jobs of course require input files of some kind, and it is of course possible to provide input files to jobs in PROMINENCE.

Input files

Small input files can be uploaded from the host running the CLI and made available to jobs using the --input option. For example:

prominence create --input README centos:7 "cat README"

The files will be written in the job's default current directory, also referred to by the HOME, TMP or TEMP environment variables. --input can be specified multiple times for multiple input files.

Note that large data files should not be provided to jobs this way, and there is a total size limit of 1 MB per file.

Artifacts

Input files, including much large files if necessary, can be obtained from standard URLs using the --artifact option. This enables input files to be downloaded from web servers or from object storage using presigned URLs.

prominence create --input https://raw.githubusercontent.com/lammps/lammps/develop/examples/ASPHERE/star/in.star centos:7 "cat in.star"
