This is a public code repository of the Astrolabe Project at the University of Arizona.
Author: Tom Hicks
Purpose: VOS is an integration project which documents, coordinates, and administers the separate containerized components of the Astrolabe Virtual Observatory Server.
Note: Currently, the Astrolabe VO and Image/Cutout Servers are hosted by the Cyverse Project. The master branch of this project provides an Astrolabe-customized JupyterLab notebook container which can connect to the Astrolabe servers running on Cyverse hosts. Alternatively, to create an entirely local installation of the Astrolabe servers, the onehost branch of this project may be used.
Note: Installing the Astrolabe-customized version of JupyterLab requires a working Docker installation, version 19.03 or greater, and the Git and Make programs.
Git clone this project somewhere within your "home" area and enter the project directory. For example:
> cd /Users/johndoe/astro
> git clone https://github.com/AstrolabeProject/vos.git
> cd vos
> pwd
/Users/johndo/astro/vos
Note: hereafter, this directory will be called the "VOS project directory".
This, the master branch of the project, provides an Astrolabe-customized version of JupyterLab which can connect to the Astrolabe VO and Image/Cutout Servers, running at Cyverse.
To reduce the time necessary for JupyterLab to start up, you should initially download the Docker container. The VOS Makefile includes a command to do this:
> make setup
Note: it may take several minutes to download the container, so you may have time to get a cup of coffee.
For instructions on starting, stopping, and using the Astrolabe-customized version of JupyterLab, please see the JupAL document.
