We have a similar process. One of our customers has a web app that their
managers use to provision spaces. That web app drops a json file into a
specific location and a cron job kicks off a python script every so often to
process the files and provision the space(fileset creation, link, quota, owner,
group, perms, etc). Failures are queued and a jira ticket opened. Successes
update the database for the web app. They are not requiring instant processing,
so we process hourly on the back end side of things.

Not quite user self-service ....
But we have some web tooling for project registration that pushes sanitised
messages onto a redis (rq) backed message bus which then does "stuff". For
example create and populate groups in AD and LDAP. Create and link a fileset,
set quota etc ... Our consumer code is all built to be tolerant to running it a
second time safely and has quite a bit of internal locking to prevent multiple
instances running at the same time (though we have multiple consumer entities
to handle fail-over). The fault tolerant thing is quite important as create a
fileset can fail for a number of reasons (e.g. restripefs running), so we can
always just requeue the requests again.

Hi all
We are trying to use filesets quite a bit, but it’s a hassle that only
the admins can create them. To the users it’s just a directory so it slows
things down. Has anyone deployed a self service model for creating filesets?
Maybe using the API? This feels like shared pain that someone has already
worked on….
thanks
Russell
