JOB_BILLING_CYCLE = "completed"
# localtime use 24-hour format(hour[0-23]:minute[0-59])
DAILY_HOUR = "01:00"
MONTHLY_DAY = 2
# ('en', 'English'),('sc', 'Simplified Chinese')
LANGUAGE = "en"
# The number of minutes between the current timezone and the UTC timezone
# Use offset between local timezone and UTC timezone by default
# Example: local timezone is GMT+8, the following should be 480.
# TIMEZONE_OFFSET = 0
# Billing report unit and location information:
# Format of UNIT: "<unit>;<unit>"
# Note: If you modify this field, please log in to the LiCO web page again.
# Unit optional parameters:
#     $ : Indicates that the currency unit is dollar

# The number of times the fetch was retried
MEMORY_RETRY_COUNT = 1
# The wait interval for refetch
MEMORY_RETRY_INTERVAL_SECOND = 0.5
[JOB.CSRES]
# the port range used by job.
PORT_BEGIN = 25000
PORT_END = 27500

When the file lsb.events does not exist in its default path $(LSB_SHAREDIR)/cluster_name/logdir, or lsf is not installed on the lico head node, the bhist command won't retrieve job information. Enabling the following configuration provides more accurate historical run times for jobs.

SINGULARITY_CACHEDIR = ""
# When building a container, or pulling/running a Singularity container from a Docker/OCI source, a temporary working space is required. You may need to set SINGULARITY_TMPDIR when building a large container on a system which has a small /tmp filesystem
SINGULARITY_TMPDIR = ""

Cloudtools configuration

If you want to control the time when jupyter is automatically closed, you can modify the defaultValue while the id of the params in the file /var/lib/lico/core/templates/jupyter/template.json is one of jupyter_timeout、kernel_timeout、terminal_timeout.

The meaning of these three parameters is as follows:

jupyter_timeout : Shut down the server after N seconds with no kernels or terminals running and no activity.
kernel_timeout : Timeout (in seconds) after which a kernel is considered idle and ready to be culled.
terminal_timeout : Timeout (in seconds) in which a terminal has been inactive and ready to be culled.

If you want to add automatic labeling function in CVAT, you need to add nuclio server address to defaultValue while the id of the params in the file in /var/lib/lico/core/templates/cvat/template.json is CVAT_NUCLIO_HOST (If you don't have Nuclio or auto annotation model installed, Please refer to https://opencv.github.io/cvat/docs/administration/advanced/installation_automatic_annotation/).
