Remove or improve map on homepage

[joostdaniels]

Currently pointless to display. Data locations should be represented accurately, and map should not include day/night overlay (unless updated to be accurate). My vote is to remove or move to "about us" page

It looks like the python environment on quasar got munged during a server update. I've switched it to conda and the map should now be correctly updated every hour. The new crontab entry is:

0 * * * *  BASH_ENV=~/.bashrc bash -l -c "conda activate;/u/brian/Applications/fathomnet/write_homemap.py /mbari/FathomNet/web/assets/images/homemap.png > /u/brian/Library/Logs/quasar-write_homemap.log 2>&1"

The script to generate the map is:

#!/usr/bin/env python

# REQUIRED:
# - requests
# - matplotlib
# - cartopy
# - datetime

from typing import List, Tuple
import argparse
import cartopy.crs as ccrs
from cartopy.feature.nightshade import Nightshade
import datetime
import pytz
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import requests

endpoint = "http://fathomnet.org:8080"

def main(target) -> None:
    fig = plt.figure(figsize=(16, 12), edgecolor='w')
    ax = fig.add_subplot(1, 1, 1, projection=ccrs.PlateCarree())
    date = pytz.utc.localize(datetime.datetime.utcnow())
    ax.stock_img()
    ax.add_feature(Nightshade(date, alpha=0.2))

    positions = averagePositionOfEachUpload()
    for p in positions:
        plt.plot(p[1], p[0], 'ro', markersize=2, transform=ccrs.PlateCarree())
    plt.savefig(target, bbox_inches='tight')

def averagePositionOfEachUpload() -> List[Tuple[float, float]]:
    url = f"{endpoint}/stats/list/upload/positions"
    r = requests.get(url)
    json = r.json()
    return [(x['latitude'], x['longitude']) for x in json]

if __name__ == '__main__':
    parser = argparse.ArgumentParser(description='Write a map of the average position of each upload.')
    parser.add_argument('target', type=str, help='The target file to write to.')
    args = parser.parse_args()
    main(args.target)
