  Pre-requisites:

  • Internet access
  • Docker.io
  • SSH
  • The host's ports 49905 and 49905 must be available.

  Instructions:

  NOTE: The execution of these scripts can span for several days.
  
  1. Clone the project and then go to the cloned folder: git clone https://github.com/ifgi/scalable-spatial-temporal-BFAST.git
  2. Modify the configuration file scidb_docker.ini according to your needs and your hardware.
  3. Enable setup.sh for execution chmod +x setup.sh and run it ./setup.sh. This creates a new Docker image from the Dockerfile and then starts a container.
  4. Log into the container: ssh -p 49905 root@localhost. The default password is xxxx.xxxx.xxxx
  5. Execute the script /root/./containerSetup.sh. This script sets SciDB, downloads MODIS data to SciDB, and finally executes the experiment.
