unidata/cloudgempak repository overview

⁠CloudStream GEMPAK

This docker image⁠ contains an instance of Unidata GEMPAK/NAWIPS running in a virtual X11 environment provided by CloudStream⁠. GEMPAK GUI and command line programs can be run through a browser, though a data directory must be mounted to show real-time or archive data (most likely to /data/ldm/pub/decoded/gempak).

⁠Run GEMPAK Docker Image

From the command line:

docker run -p 6080:6080 -it unidata/cloudgempak

and then open http://localhost:6080⁠

⁠Build GEMPAK Image

git clone https://github.com/Unidata/CloudGEMPAK.git
cd CloudGEMPAK
make build

• The script rungempak.sh is included from the standalone GEMPAK Docker image (hub.docker.com/r/unidata/gempak/⁠)

• This repository uses a modified bootstrap.sh which overrides the unidata/cloudstream:centos7 file of the same name.

• If you wish to run multiple sessions, or leverage dynamic port mapping, you would start CloudGEMPAK as follows:

  docker run -P -it unidata/cloudgempak
  

  Copy

• By default, CloudGEMPAK does not use a password. You may secure your CloudGEMPAK session with a password by using the USEPASS environmental variable to set a password for the session.

  docker run -e USEPASS="password" -P -it unidata/cloudgempak
