Does openhtc.io work with Native Theory?
Is the setup the same as for native ATLAS?

Does openhtc.io work with Native Theory?
Is the setup the same as for native ATLAS?

If you are already running ATLAS native you may have configured openhtc.io in the file
/etc/cvmfs/domain.d/cern.ch.local like this:
CVMFS_SERVER_URL='http://s1cern-cvmfs.openhtc.io/cvmfs/@fqrn@;http://s1ral-cvmfs.openhtc.io/cvmfs/@fqrn@;http://s1bnl-cvmfs.openhtc.io/cvmfs/@fqrn@;http://s1fnal-cvmfs.openhtc.io/cvmfs/@fqrn@'



Then just add the repositories needed for Theory native to /etc/cvmfs/default.local
CVMFS_REPOSITORIES="atlas.cern.ch,atlas-condb.cern.ch,grid.cern.ch,cernvm-prod.cern.ch,sft.cern.ch,alice.cern.ch"


Save the changes and run "cvmfs_config reload; cvmfs_config probe".


If you don't have openhtc.io configured it is recommended to do this only in /etc/cvmfs/domain.d/cern.ch.local as mentioned above.
Create that file if necessary.


If you run "cvmfs_config stat" it will show you which server is currently in use.

Thanks. That is just what I need to know.
This is a second machine, and I will be running Native Theory only on it, so I had not configured it yet.

If you only run Theory on this host you may remove ATLAS from the repository list in /etc/cvmfs/default.local.
The Theory only list looks like this:
CVMFS_REPOSITORIES="sft.cern.ch,grid.cern.ch,cernvm-prod.cern.ch,alice.cern.ch"

Do I need the quotes? I did not use them on native ATLAS, and it seems to be working fine.

Do I need the quotes?

The CVMFS docs at https://cvmfs.readthedocs.io/en/stable/cpt-configure.html state:
"Special characters have to be quoted. For instance, instead of CVMFS_HTTP_PROXY=p1;p2, write CVMFS_HTTP_PROXY='p1;p2' in order to avoid parsing errors."

In this special case the string doesn't contain "special characters".
Hence it works without quotes, but I prefer to use them as they don't hurt.


Next question may be: single vs. double quotes?
It depends if the string contains variable substitution.
Again from the docs:
"The .conf and .local configuration files are key-value pairs in the form PARAMETER=value. They are sourced by /bin/sh. Hence, a limited set of shell commands can be used inside these files ...".

Example:
vari1="blabla" # also possible: vari1=blabla or vari1='blabla'
complete_string="something extra ${vari1}"
Resolves to: something extra blabla

vari1="blabla" # also possible: vari1=blabla or vari1='blabla'
complete_string='something extra ${vari1}'
Resolves to: something extra ${vari1}
