dojo-cli 0.1.1

A command-line interface for black box model execution.

dojo-cli

A command-line interface library for black box domain model execution. This library enables users to execute domain models locally.

The library has 6 key methods:

• List the latest versions of all available models.
• Print parameter metadata for a selected model.
• Print a summary of the output files of a selected model.
• Print a desription of a selected model.
• Run a model.
• List all versions of a model.

Installation

Ensure you have a working installation of Docker.

Once Docker is installed on Linux or Mac you can add the current user to the Docker group with:

sudo groupadd docker
sudo gpasswd -a $USER docker

then log out/back in so changes can take effect. This should be done after installing Docker.

Setup

The CLI requires a configuration file with DOJO API credentials. This filename can be passed with each CLI command via the --config option, or the default file .config will be used.

See example.config for guidance:

{
    "DOJO_URL": "https://dojo-test.com",
    "DOJO_USER": "",
    "DOJO_PWD": ""
}

If running the library locally from source, the following libraries are required to be installed:

Click>=7.0,<8
docker>=5.0.3
Jinja2>=2.11.3

CLI help

The following commands will provide details of each available dojo command:

dojo --help
dojo describe --help

Model run parameters for CHIRPS-Monthly:

Parameter 1     : month
Description     : 2-digit month
Type            : int
Unit            : month
Unit Description: month

Parameter 2     : year
Description     : 4-digit year
Type            : int
Unit            : years
Unit Description: years

Parameter 3     : bounding box
Description     : geographical bounding box of x,y min/max values. format: [ [xmin, ymin], [xmax, ymax] ] example: [[33.512234, 2.719907], [49.98171,16.501768]]
Type            : float
Unit            : longitude, latitude values
Unit Description: longitude, latitude values


Example parameters:

month: 01
year: 2021
bounding_box: '[[33.512234, 2.719907], [49.98171,16.501768]]'

Template CHIRPS-Monthly parameters file written to params_template.json.

Additionally, parameters will write params_template.json with example model parameters:

{
    "month": 1,
    "year": 2021,
    "bounding_box": "[[33.512234, 2.719907], [49.98171,16.501768]]"
}

runmodel

Description

Runs the selected model used the specified model parameters.

Parameters

• --model : name of the model
• --config : name of configuation file; defaults to .config
• --params : model parameters in JSON format
• --paramsfile : name of file of model parameters in JSON format; defaults to params_template.json.
• --outputdir : folder specified for model output files; defaults to /runs/{model}/{version}/{datetime} e.g. /dojo-cli/runs/CHIRTSmax-Monthly/17bf37e3-3785-43be-a2a3-fec6add03376/20210403110420
• --version : version of the model if --model is not passed
• --attached : True or False, defaults to True.
  • If attached=True or is not passed, the cli will wait for the model to run in the container and then remove the container.
  • If attached=False the model will run in the container in background. The user will need to monitor the output folder or container to determine when the run is completed.

To run a model, the parameter values should either be assigned via the --params option , or a json file specified via the --paramsfile option. If neither parameter option is set, the --paramsfile filename params_template.json will be used.

After processing runmodel will print the local directory where the model output and accessory (e.g. .mp4, .webm, .jpg) files are available. The local directory tree structure will consist of the model name, the model version, and a datetime stamp of the model run (unless specified by the --outputdir option) e.g.:

/runs
 | - Stochastic Gridded Conflict Model
    |-17bf37e3-3785-43be-a2a3-fec6add03376
        |- 20211209160543
        |- output
            |- conflict_IDs.rti
            |- ...
        |- acessorries
            |- conflict_IDs_2D.mp4
            - ...
        |- accessories-captions.json
        |- run-parameters.json
        |- logs.txt

In addition to the model's output and accessory files, runmodel will write three other files:

• accessories-captions.json : descriptions of the files in accessories
• logs.txt : the log output produced by this run
• run-parameters.json : the model parameters used for this run

Examples

(1) Run the CHIRPS-Monthly model using the default configuration settings in .config and model parameters in params_template.json:

dojo runmodel --model="CHIRPS-Monthly"

(2) Run the CHIRPS-Monthly model using the default configuration settings in .config and model parameters in chirps-monthly.json:

dojo runmodel --model="CHIRPS-Monthly" --paramsfile=chirps-monthly.json

(3) Run the CHIRPS-Monthly model using the default configuration settings in .config and specified model parameters:

dojo runmodel --model="CHIRPS-Monthly" --params='{"month": "09", "year": "2016", "bounding_box": "[[33.512234, 2.719907], [49.98171,16.501768]]"}'

(4) Run a specific version of CHIRPS-Monthly:

dojo runmodel --version="a14ccbdf-c8d5-4816-af52-8b2ef3da9d22"

(5) Run a specific version of CHIRPS-Monthly detached:

dojo runmodel --version="a14ccbdf-c8d5-4816-af52-8b2ef3da9d22" --attached=False

Models missing Docker images

In some instances a user may attempt to run a model version that does not have a docker image associated with it. If this occurs dojo-cli will list available model versions (most recent first). The user can then choose to run one of versions listed.

$ dojo runmodel --version="9d077a11-9db3-441c-a2ae-0ecacd1381f0"
APSIM-Cropping version 9d077a11-9db3-441c-a2ae-0ecacd1381f0 does not have a Docker image associated with it and therefore cannot be run.

The following versions of APSIM-Cropping are available to run:
