Overview
The Slicer factory machine is maintained by Kitware and produces dashboard builds of many software projects, including nightly, continuous, and packaged versions of Slicer and its approved extensions. See the Slicer4 dashboard.
These builds are generated every day on three different operating systems: Windows 7, Mac OS X, and Linux. Because it is not legal to run any version of Mac OS X on a virtual machine (unless its host also runs Mac OS X), the host OS is Mac OS X, and the Windows and Linux builds are run within this machine as virtual machines.
Dashboard build scripts are located on GitHub: https://github.com/Slicer/DashboardScripts

Remote access
Remote access: Via SSH or VNC from Kitware internal network (10.171.2.113).
VM: Windows 7
- Tasks are scheduled using the Windows Task Scheduler (Start->All Programs->Accessories->System Tools->Task Scheduler)
- On Windows, instead of bash, we use batch scripts comprised of commands to call ctest to run all the nightly scripts.
factory-south-win7.kitware (RETIRED)
This VM is shutdown, build have been moved to overload.kitware
- Windows 7 Ultimate N - Service Pack 1 (Build 7601) on an x86 platform.
- CMake version: 3.5.0-rc3
- Compiler: VS2013 Community Edition
- Processors: 6
- Memory: 16GB
Also, keep in mind the Documentation/Nightly/Developers/Tutorials/DashboardSetup#Remarks remarks about building a dashboard on a Windows machine. These all apply here.
Remote access: Via Remote Desktop from Kitware internal network (10.171.2.245).
Maintenance
Check Virtual Machines (factory-south-ubuntu)
factory-south-win7 VM is shutdown, build have been moved to overload.kitware
When
Every day (or as soon as issues are suspected)
What
- Try to:
- SSH into factory-south-ubuntu
- If failure:
- Connect to
factory.south
and check the state of the virtual machines.
- Connect to
- Are the virtual machine unresponsive ?
- No -> No further action required
- Yes -> Read below
- Kill both VMs
- Restart the host (factory-south)
- Manually start the virtual machines
- If needed, manually restarts the nightly build (See below)
Manually restart the night builds
If the factory machines were restarted after the regular Nightly startup time, the nightly scripts will have to be explicitly started.
- Linux: Run
/home/kitware/Dashboards/DashboardScripts/factory-south-ubuntu.sh
- MacOSX: Run
/Users/kitware/DashboardScripts/factory.sh
- Windows: Open "Task Scheduled" -> slicer -> right click on "Nightly" -> Start
Nightly Build startup times
- Linux: 11:10pm
- MacOSx: 11:10pm
- Windows: Midnight
