rec.web (recommended only for testing locally)
- Docker (20.10+)
- docker-compose (1.25.4+)
Preparation steps
To create a pendulum experiment, the script create_pendulum_experiment.sh allows to create a base experiment for a new pendulum
experiments/create_pendulum_experiment.sh
Mandatory arguments: * 1st argument: Name of the experiment (e.g. worldpendulum) * 2nd argument: ID of the experiment (e.g. ELAB_WORLD_PENDULUM) * 3rd argument: Pendulum location (e.g. Faro)
Optional arguments: * 4th argument: URL to the video (e.g. rtsp://elabmc.ist.utl.pt:80/wp_ccalg.sdp) * 5th argument: Pendulum serial device location (default: /dev/ttyS0)
Sample script execution to create pendulum:
$ ./create_pendulum_experiment.sh wpalentejo ELAB_WP_ALENTEJO Alentejo rtsp://elabmc.ist.utl.pt:80/wp_alentejo.sdp /dev/ttyS0
Build
Follow the next steps to build and run at target environments.
build_pendulum.properties:
- lab.list: Name of the laboratories to build, comma (,) delimited.
- pendulum.experiment.list: Name of the experiment(s) to build, comma (,) delimited.
- pendulum.multicast.controller.host: Hostname where Multicast controller is going to be installed
- pendulum.multicast.controller.port: Listen CORBA port used to recieve connections from Hardware Server, rec.web and rec.client (default: 9001)
- pendulum.rec.multicastcontroller.jmxremote.port: Listen JMX port used to recieve connections from rec.web (default: 25001)
- install.dir: Base directory where Multicast Controller is going to be installed (default: /home/elab)
- deployment.subdir: Sub directory where Multicast Controller is going to be installed (default: /rec-deployment)
Local
This option only serves testing purposes (install locally a clean environment), Pendulum Hardware Server is not used at this step.
$ mvn clean package -Dmaven.test.skip=true -Djarsigner.alias="REC" -Dbuild.environment=local
Be aware that a virtual experiment is started by this step, not the pendulum!
Production
Build the project:
$ mvn clean package -Dmaven.test.skip=true -Djarsigner.alias="REC" -Dbuild.environment=pendulum
