FAQPage Schema

How do I check REANA server connectivity and list workflows from a Docker container?▼

To check REANA server connectivity from a Docker container, use the Dockerized REANA client to ping the server and enumerate workflows. You must provide the REANA_SERVER_URL and REANA_ACCESS_TOKEN as environment variables to retrieve the workflow metadata successfully.

What environment variables do I need to run the REANA client in Docker?▼

Running the REANA client in Docker requires setting the REANA_SERVER_URL and REANA_ACCESS_TOKEN environment variables. These credentials authenticate the Dockerized client, allowing it to ping the server and retrieve workflow data for downstream analysis.

Can I format REANA workflow metadata into readable tables using jq?▼

Yes, you can format REANA workflow metadata into readable tables using jq and column. The Dockerized REANA client outputs workflow data in JSON format, which jq processes to produce structured, human-readable tables for easy inspection in dev or prod environments.

What is the best way to audit available REANA workflows across environments?▼

The best way to audit available REANA workflows is using the Dockerized reanahub/reana-client image. It lists workflows with JSON output for programmatic processing, enabling data science teams to quickly inspect and audit active workflows across development and production environments.

Does the Dockerized REANA client support JSON output for scripting?▼

Yes, the Dockerized REANA client supports JSON output for scripting. It retrieves workflow metadata from the REANA server and outputs it in JSON format, making it suitable for programmatic processing and integration into automated DevOps pipelines.
