Make sure to setup and configure the infrastructure before using it.
Startup Infrastructure
On OS X
- Run "
/Applications/Docker/Kitematic (Beta)"
- Click
"Docker CLI"
on the lower right side to open a terminal.
On Linux
The Docker daemon should have been started automatically.
# startup infrastructure cli> ./infrastructure.sh run
Update Infrastructure
Occasionally you may want to upgrade to the latest version of the infrastructure.
Sometimes it may be necessary to upgrade the whole database (e.g. schema changed).
In such a case you may get an error about the database was not able to start. You have then to delete your old database to use the most current version and your old data will be lost.
cli> ./infrastructure.sh update
Open FLARECAST Pipeline Management Console
On Linux
Open http://127.0.0.1:8000 in your browser
Now you can
- Inspect registered algorithms (tab "Algorithms")
- Manually start a new instance of an algorithm in a dedicated container (tab "Pipeline")
- Manage running and stopped containers (tab "Containers")
Inspect registered Algorithms
In tab "Algorithms" you can get information about registered algorithms.
Start new instance of an Algorithm (Pipeline)
- Open tab "Pipeline"
- Select pipeline step
- Download: download remote data and ingest into db (e.g SWPC, typically maintained by FHNW)
- Feature extraction: extract features and ingest into property_database (e.g. SMART)
- Machine learning (training)
- Machine learning (execution)
- Visualisation (experimental): algorithms to visualise data.
- Select algorithm to run
- "Setup new instance"
- Modify input parameters (if needed, please note that modifications will not be persisted over multiple sessions)
- "Run new instance"
Intermezzo: add existing algorithm container to infrastructure
Use this commands if a new algorithm container gets added to the FLARECAST Docker hub infrastructure
# search flarecast images/containers online > docker search flarecast # list installed images/containers > docker images # list running containers > docker ps # pull a new container from the Docker hub > docker pull flarecast/swpcimport # Reload to the FLARECAST pipeline management console in your browser # Follow previous section to execute the new container
