Wetterdienst Explorer#

Navigator for wetterdienst provided open data.

Introduction#

Welcome to Wetterdienst Explorer, your friendly web-based GUI for the Wetterdienst weather service library for Python. This web UI can easily be self-hosted.

The implementation is still in its infancy, so we are happy about further contributions.

Features#

Coverage#

Wetterdienst Explorer currently covers access to:

Weather observation data from all providers that are implemented. Historical, recent and near real time.

Usage#

Invoke service#

Install Wetterdienst and invoke the user interface:

# Install Wetterdienst with Explorer extension
pip install --user wetterdienst[explorer]

# Run Wetterdienst Explorer UI
wetterdienst explorer

# Navigate to web UI
open http://localhost:7891

Invoke using Docker#

Run the Wetterdienst user interface using Docker:

docker run -it --rm --publish=7891:7891 ghcr.io/earthobservations/wetterdienst-full wetterdienst explorer --listen 0.0.0.0:7891

Serve Wetterdienst Explorer at non-root URL#

If you are wrapping up Wetterdienst behind a reverse HTTP proxy, use the DASH_URL_BASE_PATHNAME environment variable to configure the HTTP base URL the service is mounted on:

export DASH_URL_BASE_PATHNAME=/explorer/
wetterdienst explorer --listen=localhost:8891

The gist of a corresponding Nginx configuration snippet is:

server {
  server_name wetterdienst.example.org;
  location ~ ^/explorer {
    proxy_set_header   Host $host;
    proxy_pass http://localhost:8891;
  }
}
