My question is partly related to the previous topic about creating an offline testing station, which was very similar.
Simply put, would it be possible to make a copy of SatNOGS (probably client, network, auto-scheduler, and DB) so that all operations are independent of the web parts of SatNOGS?
I went through the documentation of individual installation parts such as config, client, network, and DB, but it is not documented much in detail.
If I understand correctly, satnogs-client checks the entered observations in the system (satngos-network) and uses satnogsclient.scheduler.tasks to find out which records are for a given station and to perform them at a given time. This is probably the main reason why I would use satnogs-network because observations can be entered using an auto-scheduler, and thanks to @mfalkvidd I modified his script to save important files to another location on disk. It’s really useful!
Another aspect is to add a satellite that is not in the SatNOGS database yet.
I found that it would be necessary to create a ticket for a specific satellite, then the satellite needs to be added to SatNOGS-DB and finally configure the transponders. Therefore, I would probably use a local satnogs-db, where it could make possible these changes myself.
@pierros mentioned that this procedure is used during the development stage. SatNOGS-Network and DB are primary set to local port 8000 so I assume that in the development you always work only with one instance/docker container.
Would it be possible to describe in more detail how to connect all parts of SatNOGS to create a working system?
Thanks!
