Expired Links

The download links expire automatically. Before proceeding, please ask clarity@chemotargets.com to re-activate them.

  1. Create the working directory:

    mkdir -p clrt4.2-artifacts
cd clrt4.2-artifacts

  2. Download and load container images one by one:

    for iname in helper frontend db backend; do
  echo "Loading clrt4-${iname}"
  curl -fsSL "https://dl.chmtgt.app/clrt4-${iname}.tar.zst" | sudo podman load
done

  3. Download and load container volumes one by one:

    • Option A: Download and load from disk (for unstable networks)
     for vname in ct-license pg-data io-data; do
   echo "Downloading ${vname}.tar.zst to disk..."

   # 1. Download to disk using -o to enforce the correct filename
   if curl -fsSL "https://dl.chmtgt.app/${vname}.tar.zst" -o "${vname}.tar.zst"; then
     echo "Download complete. Restoring ${vname} to volume..."

     # 2. Mount the local file and the volume into Podman
     sudo podman run --rm \
       -v "$PWD/${vname}.tar.zst:/tmp/${vname}.tar.zst:z" \
       -v "${vname}:/srv/backup/${vname}:z" \
       clrt4-helper sh -c "unzstd -c /tmp/${vname}.tar.zst | tar xf - -C /srv/backup"

     # 3. Clean up the large archive from the host machine
     rm -f "${vname}.tar.zst"
     echo "Successfully restored and cleaned up ${vname}."

   else
     echo "ERROR: Failed to download ${vname}. Link may be expired or invalid."
   fi
 done

    • Option B: Load from pipe (for stable networks)

      for vname in ct-license pg-data io-data; do
  echo "Streaming and restoring ${vname}..."

  curl -fsSL "https://dl.chmtgt.app/${vname}.tar.zst" | \
    sudo podman run --rm \
    -v "${vname}:/srv/backup/${vname}:z" \
    clrt4-helper sh -c "unzstd | tar xf - -C /srv/backup"

  if [ ${PIPESTATUS[0]} -eq 0 ]; then
    echo "Successfully restored ${vname}"
  else
    echo "ERROR: Failed to fetch or restore ${vname}."
  fi
done

  4. Configure the podman quadlet:

    sudo mkdir -p /etc/containers
curl -fsSL "https://dl.chmtgt.app/clrt4-quadlet-setup.tar.gz" \
    | sudo tar xzf - --strip-components=1 -C /etc/containers/
sudo systemctl daemon-reload

  5. Start the pod service

    sudo systemctl start clrt4-app-pod

  6. Wait ~15 min for the first run to populate the backend cache.
