If you need to use magix3d on sites that do not have an internet connection and youcan use Spack mirrors.
Step 1
Open a bash terminal on the spack-magix3d image and mount a volume of the container to your local file system, for example /magix3d-mirror on the container points to /tmp/magix3d-mirror on your local machine.
podman run -v /tmp/magix3d-mirror:/magix3d-mirror --rm -it ghcr.io/lihpc-computational-geometry/spack-magix3d bash
Step 2
Activate the Spack environment used to build the image and create the mirror.
source /spack/share/spack/setup-env.sh
spack env activate meshing-env
spack mirror create -a
Step 3
Go to the /spack/var/spack, tar the cache directory of the previously created mirror (with h option to follow symlinks) in your local file system through the mounting point, /magix3d-mirrorin this example.
cd /spack/var/spack
tar cvfz /magix3d-mirror/cache.tar.gz cache
Then, you can exit from the container and go the previously mounted directory on your computer, /tmp/magix3d-mirrorin this example.
Do not forget to download the last release of spack LIHPC-CG recipes in the same directory.
On the site with no internet connection, you need to import the cache.tar.gz file created above and the last release of spack LIHPC-CG recipes.
Untar the 2 files in a directory and add the mirror and the recipes to Spack. If your site has predefined Spack configurations, you can not add the mirror and the recipes in using spack mirror add and spack repo add as they will be added at the end of the previously configured mirror and repo lists. Instead you need to directly edit the configuration files. To know the place of the configuration files, use the following commands:
spack config blame repos # for recipes
spack config blame mirrors # for mirrors
Edit the repos and mirrors configuration files and add the LIHPC-CG repositories and mirror.
