Hello everyone, I' am not able to run the simulation and getting these errors. The /dynamic endpoint i used.

It's been almost half an hour, I have been running gcbm on my local but it shows in progress since then. Does it really takes this much time?

Hey everyone! I and @dazzling-nail-83426 were working on the Flint Cloud documentation but we are not very sure how to structure it. So, we have decided to list out the loopholes, tech blockers in the current state of documentation. We are open to suggestions, here is the link to the issue related to it. Feel free to drop your pointers in the issue linked above. Also we have created a document listing our thoughts in it. You can use it for reference, if you're not sure what we are taking about. Once we have enough content we will move ahead drafting it.

Hello Everyone, Glad to be part of the community and this cloud group to be precise. I am enthusiastic about cloud related technologies. Currently I work in domains like • Azure Resource Manager • Azure Bicep • Azure Terraform • Azure Blueprint • Azure Policy • Azure Lighthouse etc. I also have experience in delivering technical documentation for Microsoft Learn/Microsoft Docs as I am an author for: • Azure Web PubSub • Azure App services • Azure Static Apps • Azure SignalR • Azure Container Apps • Azure Functions • Java and C++ on Azure My experiences with all the above mentioned technology is at beginner level but as I love technical documentation I always proactively seek opportunities to write irrespective of the tech stack. Thankyou for having me and if anyone has any work item for a beginner like me then please delegate it to me and count me and I will give my 100% to support you in any designated work. I believe in de-learning and re-learning, so I am open to learning new things while adopting to the style that we follow here. Special thanks to @victorious-ability-26142 as she has empowered me to come and contribute/participate in the initiatives here.

<!channel> Hi all 👋 FLINT binaries for Ubuntu-22.04 and 20.04 are available here: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1VOIfYqhNBeBh0b_NDjiwoIsRe85J8EcT?usp=sharing The binaries have been generated via AppImages over GitHub Actions to help developers jump-start using FLINT without worrying about using Docker containers to do the essential. The binaries have been tested via the CLI interface though we would like if other contributors can take it for a run on their machines and see how it works. In the future, we would set up a pipeline for FLINT (and GCBM) to be built for every major architecture and operating system and these are baby steps in the direction. The above Google Drive contains further instructions on how to use the binaries and set them on your local machine. Thanks, @brave-flag-28396 for all the hard work on achieving this! Check out her repo for more details to replicate the build on your local machine: https://github.com/ankitaS11/AppImageDataForFlint You can find binaries on the GitHub artifacts as well: https://github.com/ankitaS11/AppImageDataForFlint/actions/runs/2495201029

Just an improvement in the Ubuntu instructions - the

update

should happen before the

upgrade

so we can update all of the mirrors first.

sudo apt-get upgrade && sudo apt-get update

-->

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade

Hello! I forked and wrote an

AppImage

build script for Arch Linux based distributions. Thought it would be a neat addition because I use Arch myself :) It's pretty same but with some refactored lines. It worked well for me. Here it is: https://github.com/CrystalSage/FLINT-AppImage-Arch If there's any interest - I can refactor the original script to support both distributions. Let me know :)

<!channel> The second version of the GCBM API has now been developed, which includes a pre-processing script that configures the inputs from the uploaded spatial data(

GeoTIFF

files) and enables the GCBM simulation to run without JSONs from the user’s end. User’s can also edit or verify the column names inside

gcbm_input.db

. In future, we could like to develop additional endpoints to verify and edit the JSONs that are configured inside the running Docker container. Apart from that, the simulation only runs successfully for a Linux setup, but we are looking to extend it to all other OS environments. Kudos to @mammoth-zebra-48407 and @few-sugar-35346 who worked hard on this and delivered this feature!

Hi all - we're starting a new practice for status updates related to our Azure Open Source Sponsorship. Users should post brief updates in this channel approximately every two weeks. This will allow us to identify when resources are in use and decommission resources when they are no longer necessary. @bumpy-plastic-43748 @tall-secretary-46573 @gifted-lock-18259 @few-room-82258 @mammoth-zebra-48407 @brave-flag-28396

@bumpy-plastic-43748 @tall-secretary-46573 @gifted-lock-18259 @few-room-82258 @mammoth-zebra-48407 @brave-flag-28396 - please provide the above update regarding use of your Azure resources. I'll go first: • I decommissioned @brave-flag-28396's VM • I used and decommissioned my own VM • I backed up the #20-deforestation-algorithm datasets on Azure Blob Storage on behalf of @fierce-author-39175

Hello. My own Azure VM was decommissioned since July 23th. Still waiting for a spin off from @bumpy-plastic-43748 to use with @elegant-traffic-14531.

My updates • I created a VM to test out the FLINT.Cloud docker image. Later it was deleted. • CI/CD to publish FLINT.Cloud latest changes to Azure Container Registry. This would use a single docker image instance to run the FLINT.Cloud image.

Hello everyone, here are my updates: • Deployed flint example and flint GCBM APIs on azure kubernetes services. • For the first time they was deleted and recently I have deployed them again!

My updates: • Created a VM for CML action tests and action verification of @careful-lizard-83404's PR to further refactor @elegant-traffic-14531’s PR. • Created a VM for @few-room-82258’s DVC-related work and maintenance of the Land Sector Repo.

Updates: My azure VM for FLINT.Cloud was created for testing. It was later deleted after the purpose was fulfilled.

@careful-lizard-83404 @elegant-traffic-14531 This PR is ready to merge now: https://github.com/moja-global/FLINT.Cloud/pull/132 Some of the changes that I did: • Removed the entire REST API setup used to run simulations (earlier) and the Docker-build setup (now) to directly use the

moja.cli

inside the REST API GCBM container that we publish (to cut down setup time). • Use the

moja.cli

to generate the compiled output database and generate the graph by using the script written by @elegant-traffic-14531 while removing rest of the files. • Successful run of the action can be found on my personal fork: https://github.com/HarshCasper/FLINT.Cloud/commit/d6b731a3f2ab94a0f3ab7ebd2a5f5b85a31e0648 Here is the workflow run of @elegant-traffic-14531’s original PR: https://github.com/moja-global/FLINT.Cloud/runs/7706716088?check_suite_focus=true It currently fails because of the lack of access to

GITHUB_TOKEN

, but once merged it won't be an issue for future PRs.

Running locust for stress testing on FLINT.Cloud

• Update regarding use of Azure Resources : Creating DVC pipeline for land sector dataset; Converting arcpy preprocessing to gdal preproceessing.

I have not used any cloud resources this month, I only used them when I was working on the CI/CD for the FLINT. Cloud images. Once that was done I have not accessed any of Azure resources.

My updates regarding the usage of cloud resources: • Terminated my VM for CML testing after @elegant-traffic-14531’s PR and the FLINT AppImages generated by @swift-dawn-65190’s work has been merged.

Hello @few-sugar-35346 @bumpy-plastic-43748 @gifted-lock-18259 @tall-secretary-46573 @straight-television-52943, My name is Freeman, an outreachy applicant interested in project 2 on OOP refactor. I have Questions: 1. on PR#163, are the issues 1-3 outlined resolved? 2. concerning the test file local_postman_configuration i noticed the "src" Path for most of the config files are hard coded and are raising errors
