The Qunicorn Core - Unification Middleware for a sovereign Quantum Cloud

This package uses Poetry (documentation).

VSCode

For vscode install the python extension and add the poetry venv path to the folders the python extension searches for venvs.

On linux:

{
  "python.venvFolders": [
    "~/.cache/pypoetry/virtualenvs"
  ]
}

Development

Run poetry install to install dependencies.

Environment variables

The flask dev server loads environment variables from .flaskenv and .env. To override any variable create a .env file. Environment variables in .env take precedence over .flaskenv. See the content of the .flaskenv file for the default environment variables.

You can also add an IBM_TOKEN to the .env file to use the IBM backend without a token in each request. Set the EXECUTE_CELERY_TASK_ASYNCHRONOUS in your .env file to False, if you don’t want to start a celery worker and execute all tasks synchronously.

Available endpoints are:

• JOBS

  • POST /jobs/ (Create/Register and run new job)

    • Needs a valid token to connect to IBM

    • Runs asynchronously so the results are not shown in the api response

  • GET /jobs/ (Get all jobs)

  • GET /jobs/{job_id}/ (Get details/results of a job)

  • DELETE /jobs/{job_id}/ (Get details/results of a job)

  • POST /jobs/run/{job_id}/ (Executes an uploaded python file)

  • POST /jobs/rerun/{job_id}/ (Copies and Runs again an existing Job)

  • GET /jobs/{deployment_id}/ (Get all jobs with the given deploymentId)

  • DELETE /jobs/{deployment_id}/ (Delete all jobs with the given deploymentId)

• DEPLOYMENTS

  • GET /deployments/ (Get all Deployments)

  • POST /deployments/ (Create a Deployment)

  • GET /deployments/{deployment_id}/ (Gets a Deployment)

  • PUT /deployments/{deployment_id}/ (Update a Deployment)

  • DELETE /deployments/{deployment_id}/ (Deletes a Deployment)

• DEVICES

  • GET /devices/ (Get all currently saved devices)

  • PUT /devices/ (Updates the devices, by retrieving them from IBM)

  • PUT /devices/{device_id}/ (Get details about one device)

  • PUT /devices/{device_id}/status (To check if a device is running)

  • PUT /devices/{device_id}/calibration (To get some device properties)

Run manually

Run the development server with

poetry run flask run

Start Docker, init the celery worker and then start it

poetry run invoke start-broker
poetry run invoke worker

Create the initial database (If this doesn’t work, try to delete the db-file from the “instance” folder)

flask create-and-load-db

Check Linting Errors

poetry run invoke check-linting

Trying out the tests -> See tests/README.md

poetry run pytest .

Run using docker-compose

Execute the following command the deployment will be started using docker-compose. This will build the dockerimage containing the application and creates all required containers including the database and the message queue.

docker-compose up -d
docker-compose exec server python -m flask create-and-load-db
