Container Profiles¶

Container Profiles act as templates. They define the image, constraints, and options applied to the containers generated from them. When a user assigned to this profile logs in, their container automatically appears in their list.

List of Profiles¶

Access: inventory_2 Inventory > box_edit Container Profiles.

*Overview of available container profiles.*¶

The Container Profiles page lists all container profiles defined in the organization. Each table row displays the following information:

Name: the profile’s name.
Container Provider: the infrastructure used to run the container (e.g. Reemo SWARM1).
Image: the base image used (e.g. Chromium).
Container Blueprint: the container blueprint used as a base for this profile, if defined.
Expire after: the time limit before the container automatically stops after disconnection.
Managing Group: the group responsible for managing the profile, if defined.

Create a New Profile¶

Navigate to your organization and open box_edit Container Profiles.
Click New Container Profile.
Select the source of your profile:
- Instance Administrator: Select a Provider, an Image, and optionally a Container Blueprint (if defined).
- Organization Administrator: Select a Container Blueprint (pre-configured environment template).
Configure the remaining settings, clicking Next after each step:
- Settings: Define the container profile settings such as its name and the container expiration delay after disconnection.
- Options: Configure the image deployment options. Note: These options depend on the selected image and are defined by the instance administrator who manages deployed images.
- Clipboard restrictions: enable/disable read and write access.
- File transfer: Enable or disable file transfers (see File Transfer for the full list of options).
- Sessions: Set the idle timeout behavior to auto disconnect idle sessions.
- Constraints: Define specific rules such as placement rules (e.g. location) for the profile (see Container Placement Constraints).
- Labels: Add labels to your containers to filter or identify them in your cluster. A label consists of a key and a value (e.g., environment=production).
Warning

Do not confuse these Labels, attached to the container to filter or identify it, with the node labels used by placement Constraints (see Container Placement Constraints): the latter are attached to cluster nodes, not to containers.
Click Create to finalize the Container Profile.

Container profile record.¶

A container profile record displays the following information:

Name: the profile’s name.
Container Provider: the infrastructure on which the containers of this profile will be created (e.g. Reemo SWARM1).
Image: the image used to run the container (e.g. Chromium).
Container Blueprint: the container blueprint used as a base for this profile, if defined.
Managing Group: group responsible for the profile (if defined).
Usage Schedule: usage schedule applied to the profile (default: None = unlimited).
Expire after: maximum container lifespan after disconnection.
Created At: date and time of profile creation.
Running Containers Limit: maximum number of containers that can run simultaneously for this profile (default: None = unlimited).

Two actions are available at the top of the record:
