## Install

```bash
mamba env create
conda activate bowser-env
pip install .
```

Note: if viewing files on S3, please install `s5cmd`:

```bash
mamba install s5cmd
```

## Quickstart for dolphin

- `bowser setup-dolphin` is preconfigured to make a JSON file pointing to the outputs inside `work_directory` of dolphin
- `bowser run` starts the web server on `localhost`:

```
$ bowser setup-dolphin work/

$ bowser run
INFO:     Uvicorn running on http://127.0.0.1:8000 (Press CTRL+C to quit)

```

Click on the `http://127.0.0.1:8000` link to open the map.


**Note for running over ssh**: you will need to run an ssh command creating a tunnel from your local computer to wherever the `bowser` server is.
For example, if you machine is `myserver`, you would run in a local terminal

```
ssh -N -L 8000:localhost:8000 myserver
```
after starting the web server.

## Quickstart for DISP-S1 NetCDFs

Until GDAL puts work into the NetCDF driver, reading remote HDF5/NetCDF files has very poor support. Additionally, there is no standard overview format as there is with GeoTIFFs, so `titiler` is very unhappy.

We can get around this to some degree by creating [VRTs](https://gdal.org/drivers/raster/vrt.html) and [making external overviews](https://gdal.org/programs/gdaladdo.html) pointing at these VRTs.

1. Download the NetCDFs (hopefully on some server which has fast access to the S3 bucket).
2. Run `bowser prepare-disp-s1` to create VRT files pointing in the `.nc` files, one per dataset we wish to browse.
3. Run `bowser setup-disp-s1` to make a JSON file containing all the file metadata, so the browser knows where to look.
4. `bowser run`

In detail:

1. Download
I use [`s5cmd`](https://github.com/peak/s5cmd) for faster copying, but the `aws` CLI tool works too:

```bash
mkdir my_disp_files; cd my_disp-files
s5cmd --numworkers 4 cp 's3://opera-bucket/OPERA_L3_DISP-S1_IW_F11115*/OPERA_L3_DISP-S1_IW_F11115*.nc' .
```

2. Extract VRTS

```bash
bowser prepare-disp-s1 -o vrts *.nc
```

3. Create `bowser_rasters.json` metadata

```bash
bowser setup-disp-s1 vrts
```

4. Run

```bash
bowser run
```

If this is on a server instead of your laptop, you'll need (on your laptop)

```
ssh -N -L 8000:localhost:8000 myserver
```
for whatever port pops up after `bowser run`


## CLI Usage

```bash
$ bowser --help
Usage: bowser [OPTIONS] COMMAND [ARGS]...

  CLI for bowser.

Options:
  --help  Show this message and exit.

Commands:
  addo           Add compressed GDAL overviews to files.
  run            Run the web server.
  set-data       Specify what raster data to use.
  setup-dolphin  Set up output data configuration for a dolphin workflow.
```

To manually specify a raster/set of rasters, use the interactive `bowser set-data`

## Developer Setup

`npm` is used to manage javascript dependencies.

`npm install` will install all dependencies.

After making HTML or CSS changes, run `npm run build` to build the project.
Currently the `dist/` HTML and CSS files are checked in to git for easier deployment for non-javascript users.
