Administration¶
wis2box is designed to be built as a network of virtual machines within a virtual network. Once this is built, users login into the main wis2box machine to setup their workflow and configurations for data processing and publishing.
The wis2box-ctl.py
utility provides a number of tools for managing the wis2box containers.
The following steps provide an example of container management workflow.
# build all images
python3 wis2box-ctl.py build
# start system
python3 wis2box-ctl.py start
# stop system
python3 wis2box-ctl.py stop
# view status of all deployed containers
python3 wis2box-ctl.py status
Note
Run python3 wis2box-ctl.py --help
for all usage options.
With wis2box now installed and started, it’s time to start up the box and login to the wis2box container:
python3 wis2box-ctl.py start
python3 wis2box-ctl.py login
Now that you are logged into the wis2box container, it’s now time to manage station metadata, discovery metadata and data processing pipelines.
