Default value for VM Image in Autograder Settings

[krivers]

Hi Autolab team,

I've now seen several people run into trouble setting up their autograder because they forgot to set the VM image in the autograder settings to the default value. Can we just have the value set itself to rhel.img by default? That's what the majority of people are using anyway.

Thanks!

Hi Kelly, are you referring to the cmu deployment? It might be a good idea to let autolab-help@andrew know since they manage the deployment. The default image name of "autograding_image" in the repo is in sync with the default image name used in Tango, so for devs setting up Autolab it's more convenient.

Seems to be more of a deployment issue. Will close if there are no longer any updates.

Can the default image name be set somewhere? Or are you saying that deployments that do not name their default image autograding_image are just wrong?

Perhaps add config.x.autograder.default_autograde_image = "<image name>" to config/environment/<env>.rb and change autograders_controller.rb#create to use a.autograde_image = Rails.configuration.x.autograder.default_autograde_image
