Simulated hardware for TES fly scans

Set up instructions

Install a VirtualBox machine with Sirepo using vagrant following the instructions from https://github.com/radiasoft/sirepo/wiki/Development, which is also needed if https://github.com/NSLS-II/sirepo-bluesky is used.

Configure the ports mapping:

• for the EPICS IOC, port 5064 for the UDP and TCP protocols (the IOC comes with a Docker image mikehart/motorsim, or europeanspallationsource/motorsim, based on https://github.com/EuropeanSpallationSource/MCAG_setupMotionDemo)
• for MongoDB, port 27017 (needed for databroker)

Install a MongoDB following the instructions from

• https://docs.mongodb.com/manual/tutorial/install-mongodb-on-red-hat or
• https://tecadmin.net/install-mongodb-on-fedora/

Databroker configuration file can be used from local.yml and should be put to ~/.config/databroker/local.yml.

Install Docker following the instructions from https://docs.docker.com/install/linux/docker-ce/fedora/.

Run a Docker container inside the VirtualBox VM to provide access to the motors:

docker run -it --rm --name motorsim --network=host mikehart/motorsim

or

docker run -it --rm --name motorsim --network=host -e "PREFIX=IOC" europeanspallationsource/motorsim

TODO: finish the "Docker inside VM" instructions.
