= Discussion =

* Delete UI bundle from toolshed
  - Greg deleted it.
  - Add /admin to cxtoolshed url to access admin interface.

* ChimeraX 1.5.1 release for PDB ligand-expo url change?
  - Decided to just put a new mmcif bundle on toolshed.
  - PDB said they will try to preserve the URL that ChimeraX is using.
  - If ligand-expo not available then opening mmCIF that needs template says "Could not fetch template for GAL, bonds may be wrong."

* Chimera release
  - Evaluate in January after Eric has studied if Opal web services can be ported to REST.
  - Also wait to see if PDB ligand-expo changes effect Chimera.

* Cloud ChimeraX builds
  - Zach almost has builds working on Github Actions, Intel only, not Linux

* Splunk for viewing web services logs
  - Next step, Greg suggests that Zach make a singularity image (on own machine) and try it on plato.
  - Zach showed us Splunk dashboard viewing blast, modeller, muscle jobs.
  - Free license allows one user, 500 MB per day.
  - Zach used Docker image, but RPMS supposedly available.
  - Greg suggests try using a singularity image on plato.
  - Eric asks if jobs that have not completed can be shown.
