Knowledge bases for each of the new data services can be found through this landing page: https://eumetsatspace.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/EUM/overview

These services are currently in their pilot phase, and are provided on a best-effort basis. Even now the services are open, it will still take time to fully populate them. As a workaround for this intermediate period, virtual machines on the EUMETSAT cloud are able to use object storage data buckets holding selected datasets.In addition, some selected datasets can be accessed from EWC VMs from the EWC object storage. Please contact us, if you need an additional data which is not provided in the Data Store. 

Option 1: Using EUMETSAT data services

...

1. Make sure you have latest rclone installed

   Code Block
   curl https://rclone.org/install.sh | sudo bash

   
   

2. Create mount directory, i.e. for ascat:

   Code Block
   sudo mkdir -p /eumetsatdata/ascat && sudo chown -R $USER:$USER /eumetsatdata/ascat && chmod 755 /eumetsatdata/ascat

   
   

3. Put rclone like listed below config into a config file. For example, into /etc/eum_bucket_creds (keys without brackets) 

   Code Block
   sudo sh -c "cat >>/etc/eum_bucket_creds <<-EOF [eumetsat-ascat] type = s3 provider = Ceph env_auth = false access_key_id={{ aws_access_key_id }} secret_access_key={{ aws_secret_access_key }} endpoint = https://s3.waw3-1.cloudferro.com EOF

   
   

4. Now you can already mount the data with command:

   Code Block
   sudo rclone --config /etc/eum_bucket_creds mount --allow-other --daemon eumetsat-ascat:ascat.metop-abc.level-1b.native /eumetsatdata/ascat

   
   

...

1. Link rclone

   Code Block
   sudo ln -s /usr/bin/rclone /sbin/mount.rclone

   
   

2. Create systemd service:, for example for ascat:

   Code Block

   sudo sh -c "cat >>/etc/systemd/system/eum-data-ascat.service" <<-EOF [Unit] Description=Mount EUMETSAT data bucket ascat After=network-online.target [Mount] Type=rclone What=eumetsat-ascat:ascat.metop-abc.level-1b.native Where=/eumetsatdata/ascat Options=ro,allow_other,args2env,vfs-cache-mode=writes,config=/etc/eum_bucket_creds,cache-dir=/var/rclone,vfs-cache-max-size=512Mi,vfs-cache-poll-interval=30m' EOF

   
   

3. Add corresponding line into /etc/fstab:

   Code Block
   echo "eumetsat-ascat:847632567fbf45408555318627075a26:ascat.metop-abc.level-1b.native /eumetsatdata/ascat rclone ro,noauto,nofail,x-systemd.automount,args2env,allow_other,vfs_cache_mode=writes,config=/etc/eum_bucket_creds,cache_dir=/var/cache/rclone,vfs-cache-max-size=512Mi,vfs-cache-poll-interval=30m 0 0" | sudo tee -a /etc/fstab

   
   

4. Mount the folder:

   Code Block
   sudo mount /eumetsatdata/ascat
