Cube in a Box

The Cube in a Box is a simple way to run the Open Data Cube.

How to use locally

If you have make:

• Start a local environment using make up
• Set up your local postgres database (after the above has finished) using make initdb
• Add the Sentinel-2 metadata and product definitions by with make metadata and make product
• Index a default region with make index
• View the Jupyter notebook at http://localhost using the password secretpassword

If you don't have make, you can inspect the Makefile for the commands that are needed to be executed.

Deploying to AWS

To deploy to AWS, you can either do it on the command line, with the AWS command line installed or the magic URL below and the AWS console. Detailed instructions are available.

Once deployed, if you navigate to the IP of the deployed instance, you can access Jupyter with the password you set in the parameter in the AWS UI. Or you can SSH into the instance using the IP address and the SSH key you set.
