Notes for the deployment

• Poiesis's service info can't be set yet (JaeAeich/poiesis#112): it describes the project, not your Node. Register it by hand (see Manual entry, the fallback).

• Poiesis reads the inputs of tasks from, and writes their outputs to, S3 and HTTP(S) URLs, but not FTP (see Usage in its docs). A Node with Poiesis needs an S3 server, e.g., MinIO (see Deploy storage).

• Poiesis validates access tokens of one OIDC issuer, but doesn't check the groups of a user yet: the check for the LS Login group ECP_CLN, which the policy of the federation requires, is tracked in generic-issues#21.

Under construction

Which Nodes of the ELIXIR On-Cloud run Poiesis is recorded with the configuration of the gateway, in generic-issues#31.
