Running pipelines

In the root of the project run:

pip install -r requirements.txt

Run a training or forecast pipeline by running the corresponding python files in openstef_example_tasks from the root of this repository.

Tips and tricks

Enter running container

To enter the InfluxDB container run:

$ sudo docker exec -it openstef-influxdb /bin/bash

$ sudo docker exec -it openstef-nginx /bin/bash

Clear the volumes

Docker will try using previous volumes on runs. But sometimes you want to start fresh. Docker-compose offers the --renew-anon-volumes option for this purpose:

$ docker-compose up --renew-anon-volumes
