Every module in this workshop illustrates a usage scenario of MobilityDB. The data sets and the tools are described inside each of the modules.

Documentation

You can generate the workshop documentation from the sources. Go to /docs directory and run:

• In HTML format

  xsltproc --stringparam html.stylesheet "docbook.css" --stringparam chunker.output.encoding "UTF-8"  --xinclude -o index.html /usr/share/xml/docbook/stylesheet/docbook-xsl/html/chunk.xsl mobilitydb-workshop.xml

• In PDF format

  dblatex -s texstyle.sty -T native -t pdf -o mobilitydb-workshop.pdf mobilitydb-workshop.xml 

• In EPUB format

  dbtoepub -o mobilitydb-workshop.epub mobilitydb-workshop.xml

In addition, pregenerated versions of them are available for both the master and develop branches.

• HTML: master, develop
• PDF: master, develop
• EPUB: master, develop

How the Repo is Organized

• /data: raw data files used for some workshops
• /docs: files needed to generate the workshop documentation from sources

Docker container

The workshop dependencies and data files are available in a Docker container running PostgreSQL-15, PostGIS-3.4 and MobilityDB-develop (version 1.1).

• Pull the prebuilt image from the Docker Hub Registry.

  docker pull mobilitydb/mobilitydb:15-3.4-develop

• Create a Docker volume to preserve the PostgreSQL database files outside of the container.

  docker volume create mobilitydb_data

• Run the Docker container.

  docker run --name "mobilitydb" -d -p 5432 -v mobilitydb_data:/var/lib/postgresql mobilitydb/mobilitydb:12-2.5-develop-workshop 

• Enter into the Docker container.

  docker exec -it mobilitydb bash

• Connect to the database (username=docker, db=mobilitydb).

  psql -U docker -d mobilitydb 

• The workshop data files are available in the workshop directory inside the container.
