The ISLE plugin can switch individual derivative services between local Compose and the managed LibOps microservice deployment. enabled keeps the service in docker-compose.yml. distributed removes the service from the base stack, points the caller at https://microservices.libops.site, and keeps a local service override in docker-compose.dev.yml for development.

Services

ComponentDistributed base settingLocal development override
fitsRemoves fits. If crayfits stays local, sets crayfits CRAYFITS_WEBSERVICE_URI to https://microservices.libops.site/fits/examine.Adds fits to docker-compose.dev.yml and points local crayfits back at http://fits:8080/fits/examine.
crayfitsRemoves crayfits and sets Alpaca ALPACA_DERIVATIVE_FITS_URL to https://microservices.libops.site/crayfits.Adds crayfits to docker-compose.dev.yml and sets Alpaca back to http://crayfits:8080/.
homarusRemoves homarus and sets Alpaca ALPACA_DERIVATIVE_HOMARUS_URL to https://microservices.libops.site/homarus.Adds homarus to docker-compose.dev.yml and sets Alpaca back to http://homarus:8080/.
houdiniRemoves houdini and sets Alpaca ALPACA_DERIVATIVE_HOUDINI_URL to https://microservices.libops.site/houdini.Adds houdini to docker-compose.dev.yml and sets Alpaca back to http://houdini:8080/.
hypercubeRemoves hypercube and sets Alpaca ALPACA_DERIVATIVE_OCR_URL to https://microservices.libops.site/hypercube.Adds hypercube to docker-compose.dev.yml and sets Alpaca back to http://hypercube:8080/.
mergepdfRemoves mergepdf and sets Alpaca ALPACA_DERIVATIVE_MERGEPDF_URL to https://microservices.libops.site/mergepdf.Adds mergepdf to docker-compose.dev.yml and sets Alpaca back to http://mergepdf:8080/.

Switch Services

sitectl set fits distributed
sitectl set crayfits distributed
sitectl set homarus distributed
sitectl set houdini distributed
sitectl set hypercube distributed
sitectl set mergepdf distributed
Return a service to the base Compose stack with enabled: 
sitectl set fits enabled
sitectl set crayfits enabled
sitectl set homarus enabled
sitectl set houdini enabled
sitectl set hypercube enabled
sitectl set mergepdf enabled

​
FITS And Crayfits

Most sites should switch fits and crayfits together: 
sitectl set fits distributed
sitectl set crayfits distributed
If only fits is distributed, crayfits remains local and sitectl sets CRAYFITS_WEBSERVICE_URI to the managed FITS webservice URL in docker-compose.yml. The docker-compose.dev.yml override still restores local fits and points crayfits back at http://fits:8080/fits/examine.

​
Create Flags

You can choose distributed services during create: 
sitectl create isle \
  --fits=distributed \
  --crayfits=distributed \
  --homarus=distributed \
  --houdini=distributed \
  --hypercube=distributed \
  --mergepdf=distributed
Omit a flag to keep that service at the template default, or pass enabled to keep it local explicitly.
