Add HTTP read only dataset support to dtool
Project description
Free software: MIT License
Features
Publish dtool datasets by making them accessible via HTTP(S)
Interact with dtool datasets over HTTP(S)
Copy a dataset over HTTP(S)
Installation
To install the dtool-http package.
cd dtool-http
python setup.py installUsage
To publish a dataset hosted in Amazon S3 or Microsoft Azure Storage use the dtool_publish_dataset command line utility:
$ dtool_publish_dataset azure://jicinformatics/c58038a4-3a54-425e-9087-144d0733387f Dataset accessible at: https://jicinformatics.blob.core.windows.net/c58038a4-3a54-425e-9087-144d0733387f
To show the descriptive metadata of the published dataset:
$ dtool readme show https://jicinformatics.blob.core.windows.net/c58038a4-3a54-425e-9087-144d0733387f --- description: Enterobacteria phage lambda, complete genome creation_date: 2018-02-06 accession: NC_001416.1 link: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/nuccore/NC_001416.1 reference: | Nucleotide [Internet]. Bethesda (MD): National Library of Medicine (US), National Center for Biotechnology Information; [1988] - . Accession No. NC_001416.1, Enterobacteria phage lambda, complete genome [cited 2018 Feb 06] Available from: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/nuccore/NC_001416.1
To copy the dataset to local disk:
$ dtool copy https://jicinformatics.blob.core.windows.net/c58038a4-3a54-425e-9087-144d0733387f ~/my_datasets Dataset copied to: file:///Users/olssont/my_datasets/lamda-phage-genome
Serving a directory of datasets over HTTP
There is a simple utility for serving datasets in a directory over HTTP called dtool_serve_direcotry. This is mainly useful for testing purposes.
Usage:
$ dtool_serve_directory ~/my_datasets
The default port used is 8081. To show the descriptive metadata in the README one can use dtool:
$ dtool readme show http://localhost:8081/lamda-phage-genome --- description: Enterobacteria phage lambda, complete genome creation_date: 2018-02-06 accession: NC_001416.1 link: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/nuccore/NC_001416.1 reference: | Nucleotide [Internet]. Bethesda (MD): National Library of Medicine (US), National Center for Biotechnology Information; [1988] - . Accession No. NC_001416.1, Enterobacteria phage lambda, complete genome [cited 2018 Feb 06] Available from: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/nuccore/NC_001416.1
