ibek

IOC Builder for EPICS and Kubernetes:

• In an EPICS support module describe what entities an IOC using it can create, what arguments they take, and what database and st.cmd snippets it should generate in a builder.yaml file

• Build support modules together in a container image and use ibek in the image to create a JSON schema of what an IOC using that image can contain

• Write an ioc.yaml file against that schema listing instances of the entities with arguments

• Use ibek to generate a startup script and database that runs up the IOC contained in the image with them

TODO

This project is approaching completion. The following items are still to do:

from ibek import __version__

print(f”Hello ibek {__version__}”)

• DONE: Add ability to define embedded objects e.g. AsynIp and AsynSerial would both be defined by embedding AsynPort (so similar to how original builder.py works)

$ python -m ibek –version

How the documentation is structured
