Open Source Collaboration Discussion

[MAYANK12SHARMA]

Hi @peterdudfield,

I’ve set up the discussion chat where I can ask any questions if needed. I hope you’ll be able to help me resolve queries through this channel. I’m looking forward to collaborating on open-source projects within this community—it’s an exciting opportunity for me!

Thank you!

As I mentioned earlier, I’ve been stuck while setting up the nowcasting_datamodel database. Let me walk you through the steps I’ve followed so far to avoid any confusion:

1. Forked and Cloned the Repository
   First, I forked and then cloned the repository to my local system.

2. Opened the Project in VS Code
   After that, I opened the project in VS Code and launched the terminal.

3. Executed Commands to Set Up the Project
   I then started executing the commands to set up the project using the following command:

   docker-compose -f test-docker-compose.yml build

   output

Below is the screenshot for reference.

Ran the Following Commands and Encountered Issues

Once I did that, I tried running the following commands and encountered issues. Here are the corresponding screenshots:

1. docker-compose -f test-docker-compose.yml run postgre_pv

   
   

2. docker-compose -f test-docker-compose.yml run postgers

Same kind of output

3. docker-compose -f test-docker-compose.yml run datamodel

[peterdudfield]

Thats great news!

[peterdudfield]

If there is any further documentation that should go into that repo, then please let us know, and if possible add them to the repo with a PR

[MAYANK12SHARMA]

Yes, if you allow me, I would like to add a new files that outlines the complete database setup, along with some queries for generating fake data.

Hey @MAYANK12SHARMA, I need some guidance on setting up the local database for dashboard. Could you please help me out? Also, it would be great if you could update the README in the repository https://github.com/openclimatefix/analysis-dashboard with the setup instructions for future reference.

[MAYANK12SHARMA]

Sure, I am in the way will do it soon.

[MAYANK12SHARMA]

Hi @peterdudfield,

I was exploring Google Sumer of Code and noticed that this organization participated last year. I’m curious to know if the community plans to participate in Google summer of code 2025 as well?

Thank you!

[peterdudfield]

Yea, we plan to take part. More details to follow soon

[MAYANK12SHARMA]

Thanks @peterdudfield for informing.

[MAYANK12SHARMA]

Hi, I have submitted PR ( #248 ). Please take a look and let me know if any changes are needed.

Thanks

[MAYANK12SHARMA]

Hi @peterdudfield,

I’ve just resolved another issue and raised a pull request for it. Please take a look and let me know if any changes are required.

Additionally, I’ve made another update to avoid conflicts. There’s a file and folder named sites_toolbox, which could cause issues, so I’ve renamed them to prevent any conflicts.

Thank you!

[MAYANK12SHARMA]

Hi @peterdudfield ,

I’ve designed a new look for the website and would appreciate it if you could take a moment to review it. The previous design felt quite simple and didn’t include the organization’s logo, so I made these updates to improve it.

Please let me know your thoughts and whether we should move forward with updating the design.

Thank you!

[peterdudfield]

That looks great. Can you take any colours and styles from https://www.openclimatefix.org/?

[MAYANK12SHARMA]

I just wanted to ask one thing—should I change the logo to the original one (as shown below), or is the current one fine as it is?

[MAYANK12SHARMA]

I try to put it but everything become white. so i change it.

[MAYANK12SHARMA]

Hi @peterdudfield,

I hope you’re doing well! I noticed that some issues in the Analysis Dashboard seem to have been resolved but are still marked as open. If possible, could you kindly take a moment to review and close them? This would help me focus on other open issues. Here are the links to the ones I’ve identified:

openclimatefix/analysis-dashboard#89

openclimatefix/analysis-dashboard#95

openclimatefix/analysis-dashboard#167

Hii @peterdudfield, I am trying to work of neso_solar_consumer. I have created a empty database. when i try to run this project locally, I got the following error message :

Could you please help me to solve this.

As I can create an only empty database, because there is no prior information given for the database, and the problem is related to fetching data.

[peterdudfield]

the database scheme is provide in nowcasting_datamodel

[peterdudfield]

can you find the new resource? and if possible could you put this as a bug issue in the repo, just to help track it a bit

[MAYANK12SHARMA]

Can you please describe more about the new_resource type, like any specification. I have found some common field related to this dataset in the code
https://www.neso.energy/data-portal/embedded-wind-and-solar-forecasts/embedded_solar_and_wind_forecast

[peterdudfield]

yea that is it

[MAYANK12SHARMA]

Should i made a issue related to Database and Resource_id in this project and add it in readme ?

[MAYANK12SHARMA]

I sincerely Sorry for the PR related to updating the Python version in analysis_dashboard Project. I completely forgot to run the main_india.py file and only ran the main.py file, while also removing the dependency related to main_india.py. I will make sure to be more careful before submitting any future PRs. Sorry again for the oversight.

[MAYANK12SHARMA]

I am working with analysis_dashboard project, In the nwp and satellite section i got the error related to credential issue, can i get temporary credential, or is there any way to bypass them.

[peterdudfield]

corretc, sorry they will relate to loading from AWS. Sorry we cant give people access to that

[MAYANK12SHARMA]

So, open-source contributor can't work on them. 🤔

[peterdudfield]

sorry, not right now. Its hard, and we tried to flag this in the readme's where we say which repos are accessible for open source people and which arent. I hope you can understand this.

If you really want, you could run nwp-consumer, and get the data, then you could show it in that NWP tab

[MAYANK12SHARMA]

No, issue i will try to do it, if possible.

[MAYANK12SHARMA]

This is the off topic question:

Do you use LinkedIn regularly?

[MAYANK12SHARMA]
