A Buildout recipe to install and configure PyWPS Web Processing Service with conda.

Project description

Travis Build

Introduction

birdhousebuilder.recipe.pywps is a Buildout recipe to install and configure PyWPS with Anaconda. PyWPS is a Python implementation of a Web Processing Service (WPS). PyWPS will be deployed as a Supervisor service and is available behind a Nginx web server. 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.

It installs the pywps package from a conda channel in a conda environment defined by CONDA_PREFIX. The location of the intallation is given by the prefix buildout option. It setups a PyWPS output folder in ${prefix}/var/lib/pywps. It deploys a Supervisor configuration for PyWPS in ${prefix}/etc/supervisor/conf.d/pywps.conf. Supervisor can be started with ${prefix}/etc/init.d/supervisor start.

The recipe will install the nginx package from a conda channel and deploy a Nginx site configuration for PyWPS. The configuration will be deployed in ${prefix}/etc/nginx/conf.d/pywps.conf. Nginx will be started by supervisor.

By default PyWPS will be available on http://localhost:8091/wps?service=WPS&version=1.0.0&request=GetCapabilities.

The recipe depends on:

  • birdhousebuilder.recipe.conda,

  • birdhousebuilder.recipe.supervisor,

  • birdhousebuilder.recipe.nginx and

  • zc.recipe.deployment.

Supported options

The recipe supports the following buildout options:

anaconda-home

Buildout option pointing to the root folder of the Anaconda installation. Default: $HOME/anaconda.

Buildout options for pywps:

prefix

Deployment option to set the prefix of the installation folder. Default: /

user

Deployment option to set the run user.

etc-user

Deployment option to set the user of the /etc directory. Default: root

name

The name of your WPS project (used for config names and folder path).

hostname

The hostname of the PyWPS service (nginx). Default: localhost

http-port

The http port of the PyWPS service (nginx). Default: 8091

https-port

The https port of the PyWPS service (nginx). Default: 28091

output-port

The http port of the PyWPS output file service (nginx). Default: 8090

workers

The number of gunicorn workers for handling requests. Default: 1

processes-import

Python package with processes.

processes-path

Path the PyWPS processes.

title

Title used for your WPS service.

abstract

Description of your WPS service.

loglevel

Logging level for PyWPS. Default: WARN

maxoperations

Maximum number of parallel WPS operations. Default: 30

maxrequestsize

Maximal request size accepted in WPS process. Default: 30mb

Example usage

The following example buildout.cfg installs PyWPS with Anaconda:

[buildout]
parts = pywps

[pywps]
recipe = birdhousebuilder.recipe.pywps
name = myproject
prefix = /
user = www-data
hostname = localhost
http-port = 8091
https-port = 28091

# pywps options
processes-import = myproject.processes
processes-path = ${buildout:directory}/myproject/processes
title = MyProject ...
abstract = MyProject does ...

After installing with Buildout start the PyWPS service with:

$ cd ${prefix}
$ etc/init.d/supervisord start  # start|stop|restart
$ etc/init.d/nginx start        # start|stop|restart
$ bin/supervisorctl status      # check that pycsw is running
$ less var/log/pywps/myproject.log  # check log file

Open your browser with the following URL:

http://localhost:8091/wps?service=WPS&version=1.0.0&request=GetCapabilities
