use samba

Scenario here is:

• run DrQueue "master" on a linux machine
• run DrQueue "slave" on windows
• access the work dir via samba share

prepare

The easiest setup is if the same user/password is used on windows and linux machine. Use this user to create the virtualenv and run DrQueue master/server.

(It is possible to use different user/passwords, but it's complicated to deal with file/share permissions.)

The basic install is described on the main page, here: https://github.com/jedie/DrQueueIPython/wiki

Here we supposed this:

• virtualenv place:
  • linux: ~/DrQueue_env/
  • windows: %APPDATA%\DrQueue_env\
• working root:
  • linux: ~/DrQueue_env/drqueue_root/
  • windows: %APPDATA%\DrQueue_env\drqueue_root\

The DrQueueHelperFiles bash/batch files from https://github.com/jedie/DrQueueHelperFiles/archive/master.zip are extracted to the virtualenv root directory.

create samba share

The https://github.com/jedie/DrQueueHelperFiles/ has a shell script for easy create the samba share of the "DrQueue working root":

• https://github.com/jedie/DrQueueHelperFiles/blob/master/linux/setup_samba_share.sh

You can just run it to create a samba share called DrQueue ;)

Note:

• run this script from the normal user (and not with root/sudo!)
• samba restart is not needed!

windows setup

call https://github.com/jedie/DrQueueHelperFiles/blob/master/windows/edit_settings.cmd and insert eh IP address (or better: the local domain name) from your master.

Just mount the share with the batch file:
