Use OSD2F to run your own Data Donation service. The aim of this project is to facilitate scientists to collect data donations, by providing an easy-to-use web-based data donation platform. Here, scientists can instruct participants in their research to upload data exports from major online platforms (generally based on participants rights to their own data under GDPR).
Data Donation Packages currently supported in JSON format.
Installing the OSD2F locally is relatively simple by using pip's support for installation straight from VCS. However, we recommend local installation only in cases in which you want to familiarize yourself with OSD2F and never for production (real data collection) purposes.
Note: There is a different set of instructions for development purposes in the development docs
OSD2F requires python 3.8 or up, check your version by running:
python --versionshould say something like:
Python 3.8.0
Note: it's recommended to use a virtual environment, please consult de development docs for more information.
pip install git+https://github.com/uvacw/osd2fosd2f -h # see helposd2f -m Testing # to run a testing instanceYou can configure the text content of the webpages. The easiest way to get started is by generating a YAML file with the default values and editing it to your liking:
osd2f --generate-current-config config.yamlYou can start the server with this content configuration by passing a file-path via the CLI.
osd2f --content-configuration config.yaml # make sure you've edited it firstNote: OSD2F will store the configuration in the database. In development mode, the most recently edited version is used between the database and the file.
