Utilities to generate static data for Watchtower.

Watchtower Pipeline

A Python package to generate data to be displayed in Watchtower.

Follow these instructions to deploy Watchtower in your production pipeline.

Requirements

• Python 3.9+
• A source of production data (shots, assets, tasks, etc.)

Setup

• Create a new folder, step into it and run:
• python -m venv .venv
• source .venv/bin/activate
• pip install watchtower-pipeline

... with example data

To create an example project that will give you an idea of how the pipeline works:

• Run python -m watchtower_pipeline.example -b
• Navigate to the watchtower folder and run python -m http.server

... with Kitsu-sourced data

If you have a working Kitsu (and Zou) installation and want to extract and visualize data from it:

• Create a .env.local file as follows:

  KITSU_DATA_SOURCE_URL=https://<your-kitsu-instance>/api
  KITSU_DATA_SOURCE_USER_EMAIL=[e-mail]
  KITSU_DATA_SOURCE_USER_PASSWORD=password
  

• Run python -m watchtower_pipeline.kitsu -b

• Copy the content of the watchtower folder into your webserver

• Running the command without the -b flag will only fetch the data, and place it in a directory called public/data, which can then be synced to where the watchtower folder has been placed.

... with custom-sourced data

If you use a different production/asset tracking service, some scripting will be required.
