firecube 0.1.4.post0

Plugin-driven CLI for turning Earth Observation products into analysis-ready datacubes

Documentation | Quickstart | Create a Plugin | Plugin Tutorial

Installation

Firecube requires Python 3.12+. We recommend using uv for lightning-fast dependency management and isolated environments.

1. Clone the Repository

Clone the core Firecube ingestor repository:

git clone https://github.com/eumetsat/firecube.git
cd firecube

2. Setup Environment

Use uv to install dependencies and prepare the virtual environment:

uv venv --python 3.12
uv sync

3. Verify CLI

Confirm the installation by checking the version:

uv run firecube --version

Use A Plugin

Install an external plugin using the package name or local checkout documented by that plugin:

uv run firecube plugins install <plugin-package>
uv run firecube plugins list
uv run firecube plugins describe <plugin>

Then follow the plugin documentation for its source data and options. Firecube ingest commands always require explicit product flags; storage settings are inferred from the URI scheme by default:

uv run firecube ingest <plugin> \
  --input-data file://${PWD}/source-data \
  --target "file://${PWD}/my_product.zarr" \
  --product-name my_product \
  --output-format zarr \
  --write-mode direct

# explicit storage override if needed
uv run firecube ingest <plugin> \
  --input-data file://${PWD}/source-data \
  --target "file://${PWD}/my_product.zarr" \
  --product-name my_product \
  --storage-type local \
  --storage-driver obstore \
  --output-format zarr \
  --write-mode direct

For the full first-run path, use the Quickstart.

Build or serve the docs locally:

uv sync --group docs
uv run mkdocs serve
uv run mkdocs build

Development

Install test extras and run the main local gate:

uv sync --extra test
uv run pytest --strict-deps -m "not slow and not s3"

Software Bill Of Materials

Regenerate the CycloneDX 1.5 SBOM and the dependency-license report locally with:

mkdir -p reports
uv export --format cyclonedx1.5 --all-groups --all-extras --output-file reports/sbom.cdx.json
uv run --isolated --all-groups --all-extras --with hatchling --with pip-licenses pip-licenses --format=json --with-urls > reports/dependency-licenses.json

The SBOM covers all uv dependency groups and extras. Use the dependency license report and package metadata for license review; do not rely on CycloneDX license fields alone.

Included third-party components: none declared.
