Rain rain go away

Flask based website to display precipitation plots from geodesymiami/Precip.

Installation

1. Go to /var/www/ and clone the repository:

git clone git@github.com:geodesymiami/precip_web

2. Install the required packages into an virtual environment:

python -m venv web_env
source web_env/bin/activate
pip install -r requirements.txt

3. Make sure the MAPBOX_ACCESS_TOKEN is set in mapbox_access_token.env. If it exists it will use ~accounts/mapbox_access_token.env.

4. Run the website

cd precip_web/
python run.py

6. Open Website at the given address (chrome/safari)

127.0.0.1:5000

or check using

curl -s http://127.0.0.1:5000

7. On a remote server, to configure Apache create /etc/apache2/sites-available/precip_web.conf containing

<VirtualHost *:80>

    # Alias directives must come BEFORE WSGIScriptAlias to prevent Flask from catching these URLs

    # Serve /data/HDF5EOS/ as static files (bypass WSGI/Flask)
    Alias /data/HDF5EOS/ /data/HDF5EOS/
    <Directory /data/HDF5EOS/>
        Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
        Require all granted
    </Directory>

    # Serve /data/precip_plots/ as static files
    Alias /data/precip_plots/ /data/precip_plots/
    <Directory /data/precip_plots/>
        Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
        Require all granted
    </Directory>

    # Flask/WSGI configuration (must come AFTER Alias directives)
    WSGIDaemonProcess precip_web python-home=/var/www/Precip_web/web_env python-path=/var/www/Precip_web
    WSGIProcessGroup precip_web
    WSGIScriptAlias / /var/www/Precip_web/web.wsgi

    <Directory /var/www/Precip_web/>
        Require all granted
    </Directory>

    ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/precip_web_error.log
    CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/precip_web_access.log combined
</VirtualHost>

or

sudo cp precip_web.conf /etc/apache2/sites-available/

8. Start Apache using:

sudo a2ensite precip_web.conf
sudo systemctl restart apache2

8. Check for errors using:

sudo tail -20 /var/log/apache2/error.log

If you see a Traceback, then python could not properly run your precip_web.wsgi or app.py.

TODOS:

• Add a map to the website
• Parse data from the volcano list
• Run geodesymiami/Precip on Merapi, hosted on jetstream
• Set up cron job to automatically run precip plots (0 0 1 * * run_plot_precipitation_all.py)
• fix title (mobile)
• remove automatic scaling
• add magnify icon for image hover
• add esc on image zoom to escape
• fix citations in about
• remove designed by kawan
• add no bin button

WEB DESIGN TODOS:

• Use Mapbox for satellite imagery map
• Add UM GeodesyLab logo
• Add a hover effect over points on the map
• Add volcano metadata on page
• Add a link to the volcano's smithsonian page
• Add a separate page for the volcano list (by country)
• Add a search bar to search for volcanoes ?
• Indicate the last time the data was updated and plot was generated
