preprocessing-sfa

preprocessing-sfa is an Enduro preprocessing workflow for SFA SIPs.

Configuration

The preprocessing workers need to share the filesystem with Enduro's a3m or Archivematica workers. They must be connected to the same Temporal server and related to each other with the namespace, task queue and workflow name.

Preprocessing:

The required configuration for the preprocessing worker:

debug = false
verbosity = 0
sharedPath = "/home/enduro/preprocessing"

[temporal]
address = "temporal.enduro-sdps:7233"
namespace = "default"
taskQueue = "preprocessing"
workflowName = "preprocessing"

[worker]
maxConcurrentSessions = 1

Optional BagIt bag configuration:

[bagit]
checksumAlgorithm = "md5"

Enduro:

The preprocessing section for Enduro's configuration:

[preprocessing]
enabled = true
extract = false
sharedPath = "/home/enduro/preprocessing"

[preprocessing.temporal]
namespace = "default"
taskQueue = "preprocessing"
workflowName = "preprocessing"

Local environment

Requirements

This project uses Tilt to set up a local environment building the Docker images in a Kubernetes cluster. It has been tested with k3d, Minikube and Kind.

A local Kubernetes cluster:

It can run with other solutions like Microk8s or Docker for Desktop/Mac and even against remote clusters, check Tilt's Choosing a Local Dev Cluster and Install documentation for more information to install these requirements.

Additionally, follow the Manage Docker as a non-root user post-install guide so that you don’t have to run Tilt with sudo. Note that managing Docker as a non-root user is different from running the docker daemon as a non-root user (rootless).

Requirements for development

While we run the services inside a Kubernetes cluster we recomend installing Go and other tools locally to ease the development process.

Set up

Start a local Kubernetes cluster with a local registry. For example, with k3d:

k3d cluster create preprocessing --registry-create sdps-registry

Or using an existing registry:

k3d cluster create preprocessing --registry-use sdps-registry

Make sure kubectl is available and configured to use that cluster:

kubectl config view

Clone this repository and move into its folder if you have not done that previously:

git clone git@github.com:artefactual-sdps/preprocessing-sfa.git
cd preprocessing-sfa

Bring up the environment:

tilt up

While the Docker images are built/downloaded and the Kubernetes resources are created, hit space to open the Tilt UI in your browser. Check the Tilt UI documentation to learn more about it.

Live updates

Tilt, by default, will watch for file changes in the project folder and it will sync those changes, rebuild the Docker images and recreate the resources when necessary. However, we have disabled auto-load within the Tiltfile to reduce the use of hardware resources. There are refresh buttons on each resource in the Tilt UI that allow triggering manual updates and re-executing jobs and local resources. You can also set the trigger_mode env string to TRIGGER_MODE_AUTO within your local .tilt.env file to override this change and enable auto mode.

Stop/start the environment

Run ctrl-c on the terminal where tilt up is running and stop the cluster with:

k3d cluster stop preprocessing

To start the environment again:

k3d cluster start preprocessing
tilt up

Clear the cluster

Check the Tilt UI helpers below to just flush the existing data.

To remove the resources created by Tilt in the cluster, execute:

tilt down

Note that it will take some time to delete the persistent volumes when you run tilt down and flushing the existing data does not delete the cluster. To delete the volumes immediately, you can delete the cluster.

Delete the cluster

Deleting the cluster will remove all the resources immediatly, deleting cluster container from the host. With k3d, run:

k3d cluster delete preprocessing

Tilt environment configuration

A few configuration options can be changed by having a .tilt.env file located in the root of the project. Example:

TRIGGER_MODE_AUTO=true

TRIGGER_MODE_AUTO

Enables live updates on code changes for the preprocessing worker.

Tilt UI helpers

Submit

In the Tilt UI header there is a cloud icon/button that can trigger the preprocessing workflow. Click the caret to set the path to a file/directory in the host, then click the cloud icon to trigger the workflow.

Flush

Also in the Tilt UI header, click the trash button to flush the existing data. This will recreate the MySQL databases and restart the required resources.

Makefile

The Makefile provides developer utility scripts via command line make tasks. Running make with no arguments (or make help) prints the help message. Dependencies are downloaded automatically.

Debug mode

The debug mode produces more output, including the commands executed. E.g.:

$ make env DBG_MAKEFILE=1
Makefile:10: ***** starting Makefile for goal(s) "env"
Makefile:11: ***** Fri 10 Nov 2023 11:16:16 AM CET
go env
GO111MODULE=''
GOARCH='amd64'
