Current status

• Rucio extension working in SWAN
• Identified a possible bug concerning ENV variable propagation

 

Decisions needed

• How to setup the extension (via the form)
  • Ask for experiment
  • Ask for mode (download / replica)
    1. Download mode saves files in eos locally (currently a bit buggy)
    2. Replica mode triggers replication in the existing RSE mounted in the notebook
       • Ask for storage endpoints to mount for replicas (via a dropdown)
