A Buildout recipe to install and configure ncWMS2 server with Anaconda.

Project description

Travis Build

Introduction

birdhousebuilder.recipe.ncwms is a Buildout recipe to install and configure ncWMS server with Anaconda. This recipe is used by the Birdhouse project.

Usage

The recipe requires that Anaconda is already installed. You can use the buildout option anaconda-home to set the prefix for the anaconda installation. Otherwise the environment variable CONDA_PREFIX (variable is set when activating a conda environment) is used as conda prefix.

The recipe will install the ncWMS2 and apache-tomcat package from a conda channel in a conda enviroment defined by CONDA_PREFIX. The intallation folder is given by the prefix buildout option. It deploys a Supervisor configuration for Tomcat in ${prefix}/etc/supervisor/conf.d/tomcat.conf. Supervisor can be started with ${prefix}/etc/init.d/supervisord start.

By default ncWMS2 will be available on http://localhost:8080/ncWMS2.

The configuration files of ncWMS2 are in ${prefix}/etc/ncWMS2.

The recipe depends on birdhousebuilder.recipe.conda, birdhousebuilder.recipe.supervisor and birdhousebuilder.recipe.tomcat.

anaconda-home
