The core services are split up into several git submodules. These can be forked or replaced with custom version as a particular site might want.
- Ingest - Validates incoming data and stores the data to the archive.
- Archive Interface - This is the Pacifica interface to the archive supports data on disk or tape.
- Policy - This defines the policy code that sites might customize to change behavior of the other services.
- UniqueID - This defines the unique identifiers used in the rest of the services (ingest and cart)
- Metadata - This defines the core metadata schema and access to meta in that schema.
- Cart - Data cart for requesting data to be bundled and be made available for download later.
Docker compose is used heavily to deploy developer environments for
interacting with the services one at a time. The primary
docker-compose.yml in this repository pulls images from
docker hub and creates
all the services and dependencies.
For more information about docker compose environment refer to the documentation.
Coding standards are enforced by Travis-CI. They will be checked and commented on by merge requests.
Code Climate is used to inform on code coverage and potential issues through static code analysis.
Architectures are talked about in detail in the docs submodule.
However, there are two basic types of tools, Python REST services and
PHP/JavaScript Websites.
Contributing is pretty basic, fork it on github and create a merge request. Further reading is done here
