NINA CKAN catalogue for the COAT project. It is a customized distribution of CKAN which includes, amongst the others, ckanext-coat and ckanext-coatcustom. It also relies on some additional services to provide greater interoperability.

CKAN does not provide Docker images based on the Dockerfile provided by the official ckan/ckan repository, so the Docker images are built by the synchronized nina-data/ckan project.

All the tools and scripts in this file have been developed and tested on GNU/Linux systems only.

Dependencies:

• Python 3.8+
• Earthly
• Docker

• Fetch Submodules git submodule update --recursive
• Build: docker compose --profile dev build
• Copy template.env to .env and set DOI_* test variables
• Run: docker compose --profile dev run --rm --service-ports ckan-dev

• Update dependencies (optional): earthly +requirements

docker compose --profile test down -v
docker compose --profile test run --rm test

1. Copy template.env to .env
