Compute-node executable for Slurm Manager. It runs one uploaded Bash workload and forwards stdout, stderr, lifecycle status, and heartbeats to Redis. It is launched by Slurm Manager, not as a system service.

Builds

With Go installed, make build creates ../dist/bec-slurm-worker-linux-amd64. Use TARGET_ARCH=arm64 for ARM64.

With GoReleaser 2.18.0 installed, make package VERSION=0.2.0 creates static Linux archives, RPMs for x86_64 and aarch64, and SHA-256 checksums in dist/. The RPM installs /usr/bin/bec-slurm-worker and requires Bash and getent for compute-node account lookup. No Python or Go runtime is required on the node.

CI and Gitea

Every CI run tests the worker and builds both architectures and RPMs. GitHub Actions retains them in the bec-slurm-worker-packages artifact. Branch and PR builds use a development version; version tags use the matching release version.

After all CI jobs pass for a pushed v* tag, CI publishes the archives, RPMs, and checksums to the Gitea generic package bec/bec-slurm-worker, and indexes the RPMs in the BEC RPM registry, following CAGO's packaging approach. GITEA_REGISTRY_TOKEN must be available to this repository as an Actions secret, with the value username:token and permission to publish BEC packages.

Generic downloads: https://gitea.psi.ch/api/packages/bec/generic/bec-slurm-worker/VERSION/FILENAME

The publisher requires both architectures and verifies the complete checksum manifest before uploading. Reruns compare existing remote files byte-for-byte and continue only when they match; conflicting files are never overwritten. Upload failures are reported, and a later run can resume missing generic files and RPM indexing. No packages are uploaded for PRs or untagged branch builds.
