Data Queues

dataqs (Data Queues) is a simple Django app to download, process, and import spatial data into GeoServer/GeoNode.

Quick start

  1. Add "dataqs" to your INSTALLED_APPS setting like this:

    INSTALLED_APPS = (
        ...
        'dataqs',
        'dataqs.forecastio',
        'dataqs.gfms',
        'dataqs.airnow',
        'dataqs.wqp',
        'dataqs.aqicn',
        #etc
    )
    
  2. In your settings.py or local_settings.py file, add a CELERYBEAT_SCHEDULE setting to specify when Celery should run data_queues tasks:

    from celery.schedules import crontab
    CELERYBEAT_SCHEDULE = {
        'gfms': {
            'task': 'dataqs.gfms.tasks.gfms_task',
            'schedule': crontab(minute='3'),
            'args': ()
        },
        'forecast_io': {
            'task': 'dataqs.forecastio.tasks.forecast_io_task',
            'schedule': crontab(minute='1'),
            'args': ()
        },
            'task': 'dataqs.aqicn.tasks.aqicn_task',
            'schedule': crontab(hour='*/6', minute='0'),
            'args': ([],)
        },
    }
    
  3. Also add the following settings:

    #Location of GeoServer data directory
    GS_DATA_DIR = '/usr/share/geoserver/data'
    
    #Directory where temporary dataqs geoprocessing files should be downloaded
    GS_TMP_DIR = GS_DATA_DIR + '/tmp'
    
    #AirNow API username:password
    #(sign up for a free account at http://airnowapi.org/account/request/)
    AIRNOW_ACCOUNT = 'your_airnow_username:your_airnow_password'
    
    #NASA GPM FTP ACCOUNT
    #(sign up at http://registration.pps.eosdis.nasa.gov/registration/)
    GPM_ACCOUNT = 'your_gpm_email_account'
    
    #Time to wait before updating Geoserver mosaic (keep at 0 unless Geoserver
    #is on a different server. In that case, there will need to be an automated
    #rsync between GS_TMP_DIR where celery is running and
    #GS_DATA_DIR where GeoServer is running.
    RSYNC_WAIT_TIME = 0
    
  4. In order to run the spei processor, the following must be installed:

    sudo apt-get install netcdf-bin
    sudo apt-get install cdo
