mds-provider-services

Services for working with MDS provider data, built as runnable Docker containers.

These services are implemented via mds-provider, a general-purpose Python library for working with MDS Provider data.

Batteries Included

The services are organized around specific functions. More detailed explanation can be found in service README files.

service description
analytics Perform analysis on provider data
client pgAdmin4 web client
db Work with a provider database
fake Generate fake provider data for testing and development
ingest Ingest provider data from different sources
server Local postgres database server
validate Validate provider data feeds and/or local MDS payload files.

Getting Started

Requires both Docker and Docker Compose.

Commands below should be run from the root of this repository, where the docker-compose.yml file lives.

0. Create a docker-compose.yml file

Copy the dev file and edit as necessary. Compose automatically uses this file for service definitions and configuration.

You shouldn't have to make too many (if any) changes; see the next step for environment variable configuration.

cp docker-compose.dev.yml docker-compose.yml

Alternatively, use the dev file as-is by prepending a switch to docker-compose commands, e.g.:

docker-compose -f docker-compose.dev.yml CMD [OPTIONS] SERVICE [OPTIONS]

1. Create an .env file

Copy the sample and edit as necessary. Compose automatically sources this environment file for docker-compose commands.

cp .env.sample .env

Modify this file with your own settings, but the defaults should be good enough to get going.

2. Initialize the database

If running locally, first start the server service.

Run the following script to configure a Postgres database from scratch:

bin/initdb.sh

Now you can use the client service to browse the configured Postgres database.

3. Build the base image for service jobs

The other services rely on a common python:3.7-based image:

docker-compose build base

4. Run individual service jobs

Generally, an individual service SERVICE can be run with a command like:

docker-compose run SERVICE [OPTIONS]

See the README file in each service folder for more details.

5. Start a Jupyter Notebook server

analytics, fake and ingest all come with Jupyter Notebook servers that can be run locally:

bin/notebook.sh SERVICE [ARGS]

Now browse to http://localhost:NB_HOST_PORT and append the /?token=<token> param shown in the Notebook container startup output.

Note your NB_HOST_PORT may be different than the default shown in the container output (8888).

Also note that all of the services make use of the same NB_HOST_PORT environment variable, and so they cannot be run at the same time!

Modify docker-compose.yml if you need to use different ports to run Notebook servers on multiple services simultaneously.

Optional [ARGS] will be passed directly to the jupyter notebook startup command. See bin/notebook.sh for details.

Local Postgres server

Run a local Postgres database server:

docker-compose up [-d] server

The optional -d flag runs the container in detached mode, and container output will not be printed to your terminal.

Configuration

This container uses the following environment variables to create the Postgres server (with defaults shown):

POSTGRES_HOSTNAME=server
POSTGRES_DB=postgres
POSTGRES_USER=postgres
POSTGRES_PASSWORD=postgres_password

pgAdmin client

A web client interface into local and remote Postgres databases:

docker-compose up [-d] client

The optional -d flag runs the container in detached mode, and container output will not be printed to your terminal.

Learn more about pgAdmin in the documentation.

Configuration

This container uses the following environment variables to configure pgAdmin (with defaults shown):

PGADMIN_DEFAULT_EMAIL=user@domain.com
PGADMIN_DEFAULT_PASSWORD=pgadmin_password
PGADMIN_HOST_PORT=8088

Connecting

Once running, connect to the container from a web browser at: http://localhost:$PGADMIN_HOST_PORT.

Use the $PGADMIN_DEFAULT_EMAIL and $PGADMIN_DEFAULT_PASSWORD to log in.

To connect to the Postgres database running in the local server container, add a new server connection using the values of the following environment variables (with defaults shown):

MDS_DB=mds_provider
MDS_USER=mds_provider
MDS_PASSWORD=mds_provider_password
