Welcome

ACS (ALMA Common Software) is a framework for implementing a distributed container/component software machine. You can use it to develop and run custom components with some desired functionality. In these tutorial we will explore its main features, from and for someone new to this tool, in order to gain familiarity with the framework. Hopefully we will find some interesting ways of using ACS, coding simple experimental components. ACS may seem big and complex at first, but we will code our way out of this image, in a condensed approach.

...

To work with ACS we will install it inside a Docker container based in a CentOS Stream 8 image, in an Ubuntu 20.04 machine. Some commands may change in order to run ACS in other machines, so if you need assistance you can reach any member of the ALMA software development team.

Some components might fail during this process. There are logs for each component in /Repos/ExtProd/INSTALL which you can check for diagnostics. Check permissions for directories /external/docker, /external/docker/alma, /external/docker/home in your machine, the owner and group should be your user (not root).
