Files created via the filesystem are not visible¶

For better performance, SOCA cache the content of a directory by default for 2 minutes (this settings can be changed in config.py via DEFAULT_CACHE_TIME). If you have created a file via SSH/DCV and this file is not yet visible, simply force a cache refresh by clicking the grey button.

Permissions & Settings¶

The web interface rely on POSIX permissions. In other words, creating a file/folder is the same as running "touch" or "mkdir".

Web configuration parameters are listed on /apps/soca/<YOUR_CLUSTER>/cluster_web_ui/config.py. A restart is required if you change any of these settings.

    APPS_LOCATION = "/apps/"
    USER_HOME = "/data/home" # Adjust if you use a different location
    CHROOT_USER = False  # if True, user can only access their $HOME directory (aka: USER_HOME/<user>)
    PATH_TO_RESTRICT = []  # eg: /apps/folder1 -> users can't access anything under /apps/folder1
    DEFAULT_CACHE_TIME = 120  # 2 minutes. Change this value to optimize performance in case you have a large number of concurrent user
    MAX_UPLOAD_FILE = 5120  # 5 GB
    MAX_UPLOAD_TIMEOUT = 1800000  # 30 minutes
    MAX_SIZE_ONLINE_PREVIEW = 150000000  # in bytes (150mb by default), maximum size of file that can be visualized via the web editor
    MAX_ARCHIVE_SIZE = 150000000  # in bytes (150mb by default), maximum size of archive generated when downloading multiple files at once
    DAILY_BACKUP_COUNT = 15  # Keep 15 latest daily backups
