Welcome to the jungle, a set of machines with no imposed rules that are fully controlled and maintained by their users.

The configuration of all the machines is written in a centralized git repository using the Nix language for NixOS. Changes in the configuration of the machines are introduced by merge requests and pass a review step before being deployed.

The machines have access to the large list of packages available in Nixpkgs and a custom set of packages named bscpkgs, specifically tailored to our needs for HPC machines. Users can install their own packages and made them system-wide available by opening a merge request.

We have put a lot of effort to guarantee very good reproducibility properties in the configuration of the machines and the software they use.

To enter the jungle machines follow the instructions to submit a request.
