my attempt at running
apptainer run oras://registry.hzdr.de/digital-twins-for-accelerators/containers/pyat-softioc-digital-twin:default-v0-5-1-bessy.2711893

which results with a lot of errors.
I have tried the SOLEIL apptainer and it responded well,so one can finally open the ATK gui.

Another thing is that I would like to run bessy2-chroma.py, but I have some errors. Any hint welcome

    I think you need to install the module aioca

    python3 -m pip install aioca

    Background:

    • EPICS provides 2 transport layers

      • channel access (its first version, focused on exchanging scalars and vectors of scalar)
      • pv access focused on exchanging data types

    • There different python packages providing implementation of the protocol

      • p4p which is MIchael Davidsaver's wrapper of his pvxs library
      • aioca which is the asynchronous access library provided by Diamond Light Source

    TL:DR: please install aioca and p4p. Please check the installation ends up in the environment used

    No there should be no need to restart the digital twin

    I see that the bessyii twin is running. I assume that you started in a separate shell

    Hi Pierre, I have done the following
    I work in my Linux conda environment name pyat_conda
    Python 3.11
    python3 -m pip install aioca
    python3 -m pip install p4p

    then I do
    (pyat_conda) @.*** BESSY2_example]$ python bessy2-chroma.py
    03 Feb% 2026, 10:19:30 | WARNING | PyAML OA control system binding (0.1.1) initialized with name 'live' and prefix='marapo:'

    Do I have to restart the apptainer with the DT?
    …

    Now I get to it slowely ...
    I reckon that there is some name mismatch of an involved process variable.

    Normally what I do:

    • from epics tools (e.g. available in a container at registry.hzdr.de/digital-twins-for-accelerators/epics-tools:latest)
      I would use

       pvxlist localhost

    • There you can then see all the (EPICS) process variables that the twin provides.

    • Now one needs to understand which request is made. I come to that in a second

    Well yesterday I have launched to apptainers from different shells, following the instuctions given in the workshop website

    1. apptainer run oras://registry.hzdr.de/digital-twins-for-accelerators/containers/pyat-softioc-digital-twin:default-v0-5-1-bessy.2711893
    2. apptainer run oras://registry.hzdr.de/digital-twins-for-accelerators/epics-tools:latest

    How can you check that the bessyii twin is running? Which one of the two cases you refer to? For me case (1) never worked properly, producing an avalanche of error messages.

    I'd assume you have a firewall running on your machine which stops any EPICS communication

    I had the same problem on my machine.
    Thus IT support disabled the firewall on my machine

    Do you have nc, ncat or netcat installed ? If not, it is contained in the epics tools container.
    This would allow verifying if that is the case.

    Then one could start a server on 5064 TCP and see if one can connect to it:

    In EPICS, the standard/default ports are:

    • Channel Access (CA)

      • 5064 — TCP/UDP (client–IOC communication)
      • 5065 — UDP (CA Repeater)

    • PVAccess (PVA) (EPICS V4 / V7)

      • 5075 — TCP/UDP (by default)

    You will need 2 terminals (or shells)

    In the first one start a server:

     nc  -v  -p 5065 -l

    In the second one send something as client:

    echo -e "Hello World\d" | nc -v localhost:5065

    It could be ...
    ifconfig shows me the white0 host, I am actually connecting via vpn to it.
    Maybe that machine is "walled off" and I cannot communicate with EPICS.
    My problem I do not use a personal Linux Laptop so I do not think I can ask IT to disable the firewall of our
    machine (accelerator development group server).

    This is interesting because we don't see the same issue on our Athena cluster. But maybe our setup is different or the way we connect to it.
