Example: Using Docker

If you just want to try the Hummingbird Web Processing Service you can also use the Docker image:

$ docker run -i -d -p 9001:9001 -p 8000:8000 -p 8080:8080 birdhouse/hummingbird

Open your browser and enter the url of the supervisor service:

http://localhost:9001/

Run a GetCapabilites WPS request:

http://localhost:8080/wps?service=WPS&version=1.0.0&request=getcapabilities

Run DescribeProcess WPS request for CFChecker:

http://localhost:8080/wps?service=WPS&version=1.0.0&request=describeprocess&identifier=cfchecker

Execute CFChecker process with public available data:

http://localhost:8080/wps?service=WPS&version=1.0.0&request=Execute&identifier=cfchecker&DataInputs=dataset=http://www.esrl.noaa.gov/psd/thredds/fileServer/Datasets/ncep/vwnd.sfc.2015.nc&RawDataOutput=output

Install Birdy WPS command line tool from Anaconda (Anaconda needs to be installed and in your PATH):

$ conda install -c birdhouse birdhouse-birdy

Use Birdy to access Hummingbird WPS service:

$ export WPS_SERVICE=http://localhost:8080/wps
$ birdy -h
$ birdy cfchecker -h
$ birdy cfchecker --dataset http://www.esrl.noaa.gov/psd/thredds/fileServer/Datasets/ncep/vwnd.sfc.2015.nc
