nlds-admin

Administration tools for Near-Line Data Store (NLDS). Instructions are for the development version - subject to change.

Installation

1. Create a virtual environment for Python3:

   python3 -m venv ~/nlds-admin-venv

2. Activate the environment:

   source ~/nlds-admin-venv/bin/activate

3. Install the requirements:

   pip install -r requirements.txt

4. Run the command from the source directory:

   python3 nlds-admin.py <command> <options>

Config file

nlds-admin requires a config file, called .config in the same source directory as the nlds-admin.py file. There is a template for this file in the source directory called config-template. To create a valid .config file, carry out these steps:

1. Copy the config-template to .config

   cp config-template .config

2. Edit .config and fill in rabbit_server, rabbit_user, rabbit_vhost, rabbit_password in the following sections:

   "server": {{ rabbit_server }},
   "user":"{{ rabbit_user }}",
   "vhost":"{{ rabbit_vhost }}",
   "password":"{{ rabbit_password }}"
