Interactive web viewer of GOES X-ray Flux data from 1980 to now. Lets you inspect specific solar flares, the different solar cycles, or any other time range of your choosing. Includes a preview of Helioviewer when selecting a timestamp. Visit heliotime.org for a running version.

Notice: The maintenance status of Heliotime is currently in limbo, as I (the main maintainer @tschai-yim) am leaving FHNW. This project will probably be continued once development resources become available again, at which point reading my proposed changes might be useful for the new maintainer.

First, this repository uses Git submodules, so ensure they are properly initialized:

git submodule init 
git submodule update

Run the following command to deploy the development Docker Compose configuration:

./du.sh dev deploy

This will run everything in Docker and make the site available at:

• http://localhost:3000/

For development it is easier to run the individual services on the host. Check out the readmes (Server, Site) in the respective subdirectories.

For the database, here are some useful commands:

# Start only the database
./du.sh dev deploy db

# Reset the database (wipes all data)
./du.sh dev db:reset

Docker Utility
du.sh is an alias to docker compose which loads the right compose files depending on the selected environment: development dev or production prod. Only production requires certain environment variables to be set. See Configuration for available options.

See deployment on how to deploy Heliotime in production.

The Docker Compose deployment, site, and server can be configured using the following environment variables:

Docker Compose automatically loads .env in the repository root and the site (Next.js) does the same for site/.env.local when running on the host.
