This page documents my LOFAR containers, very creatively named “Frits’ LoFAR Containers” or FLoCs. These containers package a collection of common LOFAR software that is used for imaging science with both Dutch and international array. Pre-built containers are publicly available through a webdav hosted on SURF. For instructions on running a pipeline, for example, see Using the containers

Latest containers

Pipelines using the genericpipeline framework can only be run with the 3.X container versions that still ship with Python 2. Container versions 4.X and up no longer support this.

Previous containers

Version 5.X

Containers labeled x86-64_generic are built generically without compiler optimisations in an attempt to allow them to run on a wide variety of machines. The cost of that is that these containers run slower than containers optimised for the specific CPU architecture of your machine or cluster.
