Quickstart with test data

The ‘quickstart’ deploys wis2box with test data and provides a vital reference for wis2box developers to validate their contributions do not break the wis2box core functionality. It is the minimal runtime configuration profile as used in wis2box GitHub CI/CD: GitHub Actions.

Note

wis2box web components are run on port 80 by default. When using wis2box from source, the default port for web components is 8999, to be used for development.

To download wis2box from source:

git clone https://github.com/wmo-im/wis2box.git

The test enviroment file is provided in tests/test.env.

To run with the ‘quickstart’ configuration, copy this file to dev.env in your working directory:

cp tests/test.env dev.env

Build and update wis2box:

python3 wis2box-ctl.py build
python3 wis2box-ctl.py update

Start wis2box and login to the wis2box-management container:

python3 wis2box-ctl.py start
python3 wis2box-ctl.py login

Once logged in, verify the enviroment:

Publish test discovery metadata:

wis2box metadata discovery publish $WIS2BOX_DATADIR/metadata/discovery/mwi-surface-weather-observations.yml
wis2box metadata discovery publish $WIS2BOX_DATADIR/metadata/discovery/ita-surface-weather-observations.yml
wis2box metadata discovery publish $WIS2BOX_DATADIR/metadata/discovery/dza-surface-weather-observations.yml
wis2box metadata discovery publish $WIS2BOX_DATADIR/metadata/discovery/rou-synoptic-weather-observations.yml

Setup observation collections from discovery metadata:

wis2box data add-collection $WIS2BOX_DATADIR/metadata/discovery/mwi-surface-weather-observations.yml
wis2box data add-collection $WIS2BOX_DATADIR/metadata/discovery/ita-surface-weather-observations.yml
wis2box data add-collection $WIS2BOX_DATADIR/metadata/discovery/dza-surface-weather-observations.yml
wis2box data add-collection $WIS2BOX_DATADIR/metadata/discovery/rou-synoptic-weather-observations.yml

Ingest data using the data ingest command to push data to the wis2box-incoming bucket:

wis2box data ingest --topic-hierarchy mwi.mwi_met_centre.data.core.weather.surface-based-observations.synop --path $WIS2BOX_DATADIR/observations/malawi
wis2box data ingest --topic-hierarchy ita.roma_met_centre.data.core.weather.surface-based-observations.synop --path $WIS2BOX_DATADIR/observations/italy
wis2box data ingest --topic-hierarchy dza.alger_met_centre.data.core.weather.surface-based-observations.synop --path $WIS2BOX_DATADIR/observations/algeria
wis2box data ingest --topic-hierarchy rou.rnimh.data.core.weather.surface-based-observations.synop --path $WIS2BOX_DATADIR/observations/romania
