⚡ Quick Start with Docker 🐳

The fastest way to run vresto is by using Docker Compose 🚢

You only need Docker and Docker Compose installed on your machine. If you don't have them yet, you can find installation instructions on the Docker website and Docker Compose documentation.

Note: You need Copernicus credentials to use vresto. Get free access at https://dataspace.copernicus.eu/

Start vresto in just a few steps:

1. Clone the repository and go to its main directory

   git clone https://github.com/kalfasyan/vresto.git && cd vresto
   

2. Start the application with Docker Compose

   docker compose up -d
   

   ℹ️ That's it! The app will start and you can add credentials later via the UI, or provide them now:

   Option A: Add credentials now (Recommended if you have them)

   • Uncomment and fill the environment variables in docker-compose.yml, or
   • Create a .env file:

     cp .env.example .env
     # Edit .env with your credentials
     

   Option B: Add credentials later (via the app Settings menu)

   • Just run docker compose up -d without credentials (use docker compose up -d --build if you just cloned the repo)
   • The app will start at http://localhost:8610
   • Click the ☰ menu button in the top-left corner to open the Settings drawer
   • Add your Copernicus credentials through the Settings menu anytime
   • S3 credentials are optional—without them you'll get temporary credentials with usage limits (see Setup Guide for details)

✅ Done! 🎉

Your vresto dashboard is now running at:
🌐 http://localhost:8610

Note: If you pulled recent changes and a feature isn't available, rebuild the Docker image:

docker compose up -d --build

🚀 Essential Docker & Docker Compose Commands

# Start the app in background (Docker Compose)
docker compose up -d

# View logs (Docker Compose)
docker compose logs -f

# Stop and remove services (Docker Compose)
docker compose down

# Rebuild and start (Docker Compose)
docker compose up -d --build

# Run the container directly (plain Docker)
docker run -d -p 8610:8610 \
  --name vresto-dashboard \
  vresto:latest

# View logs (plain Docker)
docker logs -f vresto-dashboard

# Stop and remove the container (plain Docker)
docker stop vresto-dashboard && docker rm vresto-dashboard

Quick Start

Note: You need Copernicus credentials to use vresto. Get free access at https://dataspace.copernicus.eu/

Installation

From PyPI (recommended for users):

pip install vresto

For development:

git clone https://github.com/kalfasyan/vresto.git
cd vresto
uv sync

Configuration

Configure your credentials (see Setup Guide for details):

export COPERNICUS_USERNAME="[e-mail]"
export COPERNICUS_PASSWORD="your_password"

Or run the interactive setup helper which writes a .env in the project root:

python scripts/setup_credentials.py

Launch the App

Simply run:

vresto

Opens at http://localhost:8610

Alternative methods:

# Using make
make app

# Or directly with Python
python src/vresto/ui/app.py

Command-Line Interface (CLI):

Quick searches and downloads from the terminal:

# 🔍 Search for products
vresto-cli search-name "S2A_MSIL2A_20200612" --max-results 5

# 📸 Download quicklook (preview image)
vresto-cli download-quicklook "S2A_MSIL2A_20200612T023601_N0500_R089_T50NKJ_20230327T190018" --output ./quicklooks

# 📋 Download metadata
vresto-cli download-metadata "S2A_MSIL2A_20200612T023601_N0500_R089_T50NKJ_20230327T190018" --output ./metadata

# 🎨 Download specific bands
vresto-cli download-bands "S2A_MSIL2A_20200612T023601_N0500_R089_T50NKJ_20230327T190018" "B04,B03,B02" --resolution 10 --output ./data

For complete CLI documentation, see the CLI Guide.

API usage:

Get started with just a few lines of Python:

from vresto.api import CatalogSearch, CopernicusConfig
from vresto.products import ProductsManager

# Initialize
config = CopernicusConfig()
catalog = CatalogSearch(config=config)
manager = ProductsManager(config=config)

# 🔍 Search for a product by name
products = catalog.search_products_by_name("S2A_MSIL2A", max_results=5)

# 📸 Download quicklook and metadata
for product in products:
    quicklook = manager.get_quicklook(product)
    metadata = manager.get_metadata(product)
    if quicklook:
        quicklook.save_to_file(f"{product.name}.jpg")

# 🎨 Download specific bands for analysis/visualization
manager.download_product_bands(
    product=products[0].name,
    bands=["B04", "B03", "B02"],  # Red, Green, Blue
    resolution=10,
    dest_dir="./data"
)
