NBIS project admin

A small collection of tools to administrate NBIS projects.

Features

Tool interaction is hidden behind a CLI. Features include

• documentation templates for diaries, running slides and more (TODO)
• configuration interface for uploading documents to webexport and confluence (TODO)
• wrappers for workflow managers
• adding python modules to a subcommands directory will make the module available via the CLI

Installation

Either install via pip

python -m pip install git+https://github.com/percyfal/nbis-admin@main

or alternatively grab a copy of the source distribution and make a local install:

git clone https://github.com/percyfal/nbis-admin.git
cd nbis-admin
python -m pip install -e .

After installation, you can access the tool with the command

nbis-admin

Usage example

The main point of nbis-admin is to help setting up project analysis directories that are easily installable as python packages and provide a command-line interface (CLI) to scripts and workflows. Templates can be added that add subcommands and workflow commands to the CLI.

To start setting up a project issue

nbis-admin init project_name

This will install templates with the following structure:

project_name/
├── README.md
├── pyproject.toml
├── setup.cfg
└── src
    └── project_name
        ├── __init__.py
        ├── cli.py
        └── commands
            ├── __init__.py
            └── admin.py

To activate the CLI, cd to the project directory, add it to version control, and install in editable mode:

cd project_name
git init
git add -f .
python -m pip install -e .

Executing the command project_name will expose the available commands:

Usage: project_name [OPTIONS] COMMAND [ARGS]...

  Console script for project_name

Options:
  --version           Show the version and exit.
  --config-file PATH  configuration file
  --debug             Print debugging information.
  --help              Show this message and exit.

Commands:
  admin  Administration utilities.

The admin subcommand consists of the same commands as nbis-admin but will be executed in the context of the project directory, such that new templates automatically will be installed relative to project_name.

Adding project configuration

Although not necessary, it is recommended to add a configuration file. This can be achieved with the config subcomand:

nbis-admin config show
nbis-admin config init

Adding a subcommand plugin

The CLI will pick up any python file that resides in the directory src/project_name/commands. The only requirement is that the file has a main function that is either a click command or group. To facilitate administration, there is a command to add CLI commands:

project_name admin add command
project_name admin add command_group

Adding snakemake commands

The following command will initialize support for snakemake commands (smk subcommand) and add a command called run:

project_name admin smk init
project_name admin smk add --command run

The smk subcommand provides wrappers to run template snakemake files that were installed above (run in this case). The help to project_name smk run --help is

Usage: project_foo smk run [OPTIONS] [SNAKEMAKE_ARGS]...

  run help

Options:
  --profile TEXT      snakemake profile, either defined as key:value pair in
                      config or a URI pointing to profile directory  [default:
                      local]
  -j, --jobs INTEGER  snakemake jobs  [default: 1]
  --help              Show this message and exit.

Any additional options will be passed along to the snakemake workflow that resides in the directory src/project_name/workflows/snakemake, relative to the project home.
