Install issues and improvements

[maurerle]

• pandahub version: develop
• Python version: docker
• Operating System: Debian 12

Description

Hey, I just wanted to look into the pandahub to see if it is beneficial for my work and ran a quick test.
I found some issues and improvements which are mainly:

• 1. http://0.0.0.0:8002 should forward to http://0.0.0.0:8002/docs - instead of showing a 404
• 2. Guidance regarding adding or managing users or adding a first timeseries to the datahub

Still, I found some weirdness regarding the install:

What I Did

docker compose build
docker compose up -d
firefox 0.0.0.0:8002

• 3. Additionally, the main branch does not work at all when built & run with docker currently. So you might want to release current develop after adjusting the install requirements :)

fastapi-users does not provide the extra fastapi-users[mongodb] which results in a lot of unneccessary version lookups - probabl superseded by fastapi-users-db-mongodb

• 4. To reproduce run: pip install -e . on a fresh conda env (i used python 3.11, sorry)

pandahub 0.2.3 depends on fastapi>=0.73.0
fastapi-users[mongodb] 9.2.2 depends on fastapi<0.72.0 and >=0.65.2

• 5. When running pandahub-login defaults (http://127.0.0.01:8002) would be beneficial - I did not find any docs on how to add a user, so thats where I stopped for now.
• 6. docker-compose.yml does not include a mongodb, but I think it would be quite beneficial to have this included too (I added it myself for my tests)

I hope it helps to get some feedback from an external early beta tester ;)

was fixed by @jthurner and should now be working in version 0.2.4.
@maurerle please test and if it now works, please close the issue. Thx!

Installing the software (3.) is now fixed.
The other issues are still open (especially 5 - docs on how this project is usable are missing).

Additionally:

• 7. If no mongodb is running, no user feedback is provided when the connection attempt did run into a timeout:

~ pandahub-login
Enter pandahub URL: http://127.0.0.1:8002
Certificate for API needed? (y/n): n
Enter E-Mail: [email protected]
Enter Password: 
[ERROR] code: 500, reason: Internal Server Error

where the pandahub container had the following error:

pymongo.errors.ServerSelectionTimeoutError: db:27017: [Errno -2] Name or service not known, Timeout: 30s, Topology Description: <TopologyDescription id: 64fe17e2822f9c5daeda0c63, topology_type: Single, servers: [<ServerDescription ('db', 27017) server_type: Unknown, rtt: None, error=AutoReconnect('db:27017: [Errno -2] Name or service not known')>]>
