Running testApp in Flare simulator

• Launch the docker container using ./dockerRun.sh
• Run the following command inside the container: nvflare simulator ./testApp/ -w /tmp/nvflare/workspace_folder/ -t 2

Running a job in POC mode

• Launch the docker container using ./dockerRun.sh
• Run the following commands inside the container:
  • export NVFLARE_POC_WORKSPACE="/my-workspace/poc-workspace"
  • nvflare poc --prepare
  • nvflare poc --start
• This will put the terminal in the Flare Console
• Put custom apps in my-workspace/poc-workspace/admin/transfer
• submit_job <job_folder> will run the job at admin/transfer/<job_folder>

Run the production-mode-test

• cd into production-mode-test/
• follow instructions in the production-mode-test/README.md

Run an app that uses local code

• In the container, set the python path to your local code directory. EX export PYTHONPATH=$PYTHONPATH:/my-workspace/poc-workspace/localcode
• In the config files for the app, change the component paths to point to the directory containing your modules.
• Example:
  • The localcode/ directory contains a folder called np which is a python module with __init__.py and np_trainer.py
  • config_fed_client.json for the app looks like this:

{
    "format_version": 2,
    "executors": [
      {
        "tasks": [
          "train"
        ],
        "executor": {
          "path": "np.np_trainer.NPTrainer",
          "args": {}
        }
      }
    ],
    "task_result_filters": [],
    "task_data_filters": [],
    "components": []
}
