Prune all Anaconda versions from all infra #2685

@pneerincx

Description

@pneerincx

Objective

  • Anaconda changed the license, which means it cannot be used anymore for free and various academic HPC sites got nasty bills.
  • See also the [Hpcadmincommunity] Re: Anaconda licensing issues and solutions for existing pipelines and reproducible science mailinglist thread.

ToDo

  • Delete all Anaconda versions from all stacks
    • Talos [ ]
    • Nibbler [ ]
    • Hyperchicken [ ]
    • Vaxtron [ ]
    • BetaBarrel [ ]
    • Copperfist [ ]
    • WingedHelix [ ]
  • Install at least one version of a recent fork/version/alternative like the miniforge installer, which defaults to the free coda-forge channel.
    • Talos [ ]
    • Nibbler [ ]
    • Hyperchicken [ ]
    • Vaxtron [ ]
    • BetaBarrel [ ]
    • Copperfist [ ]
    • WingedHelix [ ]
  • Block the Anaconda channels in /etc/hosts by resolving to IP 0.0.0.0, so users cannot accidentally use the Anaconda channels anymore.
    • Talos [ ]
    • Nibbler [ ]
    • Hyperchicken [ ]
    • Vaxtron [ ]
    • BetaBarrel [ ]
    • Copperfist [ ]
    • WingedHelix [ ]
      Update the documentation on docs.gcc.rug.nl to instruct users to never use Anaconda and use the documented alternatives instead.
