We assume that port 8080 for Tomcat server is accessible.
Step-by-step guide
- Connect to server using arcgis account via ssh.
- Download tomcat 8.5.57 and unpack.
- Download tds 5.0.0 beta8 WAR file.
- Rename it to thredds.war and put it under webapps/
Create apache-tomcat-8.5.57/bin/setenv.sh.
CONTENT_ROOT=-Dtds.content.root.path=/home/arcgis/apache-tomcat-8.5.57/content JAVA_OPTS="$CONTENT_ROOT $JAVA_OPTS"
(Optional) Edit apache-tomcat-8.5.57/content/thredds/threddsCofnig.xml. Increase binLimit for TerraFusion. The unit is mega bytes and default is 500MB. The example below increases 100 times bigger.
<name>SDT TDS</name> <logoAltText>SDT TDS</logoAltText><Opendap> <ascLimit>5000</ascLimit> <binLimit>50000</binLimit> <serverVersion>opendap/3.7</serverVersion> </Opendap>
Edit apache-tomcat-8.5.57/content/thredds/catalog.xml
Use the following for east region.
<datasetRoot path="s3-test" location="s3://basicterrafusion" /> <dataset name="Test Basic TerraFusion on S3" ID="testS3Swath" urlPath="s3-test/TERRA_BF_L1B_O53557_20100112014327_F000_V001.h5" dataType="Swath"/>Use the following for west region. Please note that cdms3 is a new way to address the bucket in THREDDS.
<datasetRoot path="s3-test" location="cdms3:terrafusiondatasampler" /> <dataset name="Test Basic TerraFusion on S3" ID="testS3Swath" urlPath="s3-test/P108/TERRA_BF_L1B_O10204_20011118010522_F000_V001.h5" dataType="Swath"/>
Create ~/.aws/config file with the default region. We use us-west-2 for official open data.
[default] region=us-west-2
If you don't set it properly, you'll get the following error message from THREDDS:
Error { code = 500; message = "null (Service: S3, Status Code: 400, Request ID: null)";};- (Re)start tomcat using ~/apache-tomcat-8.5.57/bin/startup.sh.
Screenshot
It may take several minutes to get a response since TerraFusion file is huge (> 32G).
Known Issues
TDS fails to read a large dataset like MODIS/ASTER. MOPITT is fine. Pydap has an issue in handling large dataset [4].
