Abstract

The NEA Data Bank is an international reference centre for computer codes, nuclear and thermochemical data which has traditionally used simple file servers, and even DVDs, to deliver valuable content to end users across the globe. With the recent implementation of a self hosted GitLab system at the NEA it has enabled the Data Bank to streamline delivery, automate processes and testing, while empowering code owners and developers with a secure platform to collaborate and develop codes. In this paper we present the NEA GitLab system with some concrete examples of codes such as Kraken, PHITS and FISPACT-II taking advantage of many of the services and functionalities provided by GitLab. We illustrate methodologies on how to work effectively with third party software in a position of being a custodian of code, rather that a code owner, providing DevSecOps as a service.
