GeoMet-Mapfile

Overview

geomet-mapfile manages MapServer mapfiles and provides WMS services on top of geomet-data-registry.

mapfile management is done either on disk (default) or using a store backend (e.g. Redis).

Installation

Requirements

Dependencies

Dependencies are listed in requirements.txt. Dependencies are automatically installed during geomet-mapfile installation.

Installing

# setup system wide packages
sudo apt-get install python-mapscript

vi local.env  # edit paths accordingly
. local.env

Running

# help
geomet-mapfile --help

# version
geomet-mapfile --version

# see all subcommands
geomet-mapfile

# generate a mapfile for GDPS.ETA_TT without the `MAP` object and write to the configured store
geomet-mapfile mapfile generate -l GDPS.ETA_TT --no-map -o store

# generate complete mapfiles (with `MAP` object) for all layers in the GeoMet configuration and write them to disk
geomet-mapfile mapfile generate -o file

# read an existing GeoMet-Weather style file and removes unnecessary parameters (i.e CLASSGROUP, GEOTRANSFORM, etc.)
# useful for generating acceptable mappyfile style JSON objects from existing GeoMet-Weather styles

# generate mappyfile-ready JSON objects from existing GeoMet-Weather mapfiles
geomet-mapfile utils clean_styles -d /path/to/styles-dir -o . -of json

# store management

# get a key from the store.
geomet-mapfile store get -k GDPS.ETA_TT

# set a key in the store.
geomet-mapfile store set -k GDPS.ETA_TT -m /path/to/geomet-weather-GDPS.ETA_TT_en.map
