Wind Server

This repo contains a repackaging of this demo server: https://github.com/danwild/wind-js-server

This is a simple node.js application that exposes GRIB2 wind forecast data (1 degree, 6 hourly from NOAA) as JSON via an HTTP endpoint.

Changes

This project contains the following changes from the demo project linked to above:

• packages the server inside a Docker container
• add some machinery for deleting old files
• instrument the server a tiny bit with prometheus client
• clean up and reduce noisy log output
• add eslint and tidy code slightly

Requirements

• Docker

Running the server

Commands for running the server have been added as npm commands, so:

$ npm run server

The above command will build the docker image, and then start the server running inside docker, binding the server to port 7000 on the host.

Pushing to Docker

Again this has been added as an npm command that calls a bash script as it happens:

$ npm run push

It builds the image, tags with the git SHA, and pushes to Docker hub (provided you are logged in). It also tags latest build with latest but be careful with this.

Missing

• Test coverage of any sort
