enhydris-synoptic 0.1.1

View current weather conditions in Enhydris

Enhydris-synoptic is an app that adds a page to Enhydris that shows current conditions in several stations.

Note that it does not check permissions; any synoptic view created will be public, regardless of whether the timeseries from which it is derived are marked top secret.

Enhydris-synoptic is free software, available under the GNU Affero General Public License.

Installing and configuring

• pip install enhydris-synoptic

• In the Enhydris settings.py file, add enhydris_synoptic to INSTALLED_APPS, and set ENHYDRIS_SYNOPTIC_ROOT and ENHYDRIS_SYNOPTIC_URL.

  Enhydris-synoptic works by creating static files which are then served by the web server. ENHYDRIS_SYNOPTIC_ROOT indicates where this files shall be stored. ENHYDRIS_SYNOPTIC_URL is currently not used anywhere, but it’s better to set it anyway; later versions might start to use it without warning.

• In the Enhydris configuration directory, execute python manage.py migrate.

• Run celery and celerybeat, and configure celerybeat to execute the enhydris_synoptic.tasks.create_static_files task once in a while.

• Configure your web server to serve ENHYDRIS_SYNOPTIC_ROOT at ENHYDRIS_SYNOPTIC_URL.

• Go to the admin and setup a view.

After celery executes, the report will be available at ENHYDRIS_SYNOPTIC_URL + slug + '/', where slug is the URL identifier given to the synoptic view.
