Package mosaik-docker provides the following commands via the console.

Commands for handling simulation setups

create_sim_setup

Create an empty simulation setup in a new directory:

create_sim_setup [-h] [--id ID] NAME [DIR]

Positional arguments:

  • NAME: name of the new simulation setup

  • DIR: directory to put the generated simulation setup (default: current working directory)

Optional arguments:

  • -h, --help: show the help message and exit

  • --id ID: unique ID for the new simulation setup

configure_sim_setup

Configure an existing simulation setup:

configure_sim_setup [-h] -d DOCKER_FILE -s SCENARIO_FILE \
   [--extra-file EXTRA_FILE] [--extra-dir EXTRA_DIR] \
   [--result RESULT] [SETUP_DIR]

Positional arguments:

  • SETUP_DIR: path to simulation setup directory (default: current working directory)

Required named arguments:

  • -d DOCKER_FILE, --docker-file DOCKER_FILE: name of Dockerfile for orchestrator

  • -s SCENARIO_FILE, --scenario-file SCENARIO_FILE: name of main mosaik script for orchestrator

Optional arguments:

  • -h, --help: show the help message and exit

  • --extra-file EXTRA_FILE: additional file to be added to the orchestrator Docker image

Positional arguments:

  • SETUP_DIR: path to simulation setup directory (default: current working directory)

Optional arguments:

  • -h, --help: show the help message and exit

delete_sim_setup

Delete a simulation setup, including all associated Docker images and containers:

Positional arguments:

  • SETUP_DIR: path to simulation setup directory (default: current working directory)

Optional arguments:

  • -h, --help: show the help message and exit

Commands for handling simulations

start_sim

Start a new simulation:

start_sim [-h] [SETUP_DIR] [ID]

  • ID: simulation ID (Docker container name)

Optional arguments:

  • -h, --help: show the help message and exit

cancel_sim

Cancel a simulation (stop simulation containers):

cancel_sim [-h] (--id ID | --all) [SETUP_DIR]

Positional arguments:

  • SETUP_DIR: path to simulation setup directory (default: current working directory)

Optional arguments:

  • -h, --help: show the help message and exit

clear_sim

Delete containers of finished simulations:

clear_sim [-h] (--id ID | --all) [SETUP_DIR]

Positional arguments:

  • SETUP_DIR: path to simulation setup directory (default: current working directory)

Optional arguments:

  • -h, --help: show the help message and exit

  • --id ID: simulation ID (Docker container name)

  • --all: remove all simulation containers

get_sim_status

Get status of all simulations of a mosaik-docker setup. Updates the simulation setup information about which containers are running (status UP) or finished(status DOWN) if it is not up to date:

get_sim_status [-h] [SETUP_DIR]

Positional arguments:

  • SETUP_DIR: path to simulation setup directory (default: current working directory)
