Connect to Pyxis Container from VSCode

[ECMGit]

Hi there,

I can access to compute node by ssh <username>@<ip> address from vscode, where my compute node was requested by srun -N1 -G1 -c16 --mem=128G --time=12:00:00 --container-name=<name> --container-image <file name>.sqsh --container-mounts=$WORK:/workspace/work --pty $SHELL, everything works well.

When I use VSCode ssh to the compute node, I need to use srun --overlap --jobid=<jobid> --pty bash to enter running container session in every terminal session, otherwise my vscode terminal only enter the host session. Also I want to know how can I find the python interpreter from container in vscode? Looks like /usr/bin/python in compute node are not same as the /usr/bin/python in running container.

Thanks!

It's not something I can really help you with, I haven't tried this workflow. I'm afraid you will have to investigate yourself what VSCode is doing.

If you have a specific question about how pyxis is behaving and why, I can help with that.
For instance:

Looks like /usr/bin/python in compute node are not same as the /usr/bin/python in running container.

Yes, that's normal, they don't have to match.

Thank you! I found enroot list -f can found the running container ID and enter the running container session in terminal. May I ask that how can I locate the python interpreter in container if my terminal session is in host? Is there any mapped path in host node file system?
