Overview

Its particular focus is on integration with scientific instruments, instrument facilities and research storage and computing infrastructure; to address the challenges of data storage, data access, collaboration and data publication.

Developing for MyTardis

MyTardis is mostly written in the Python programming language and is built on top of the Django web framework. A complete installation of the service also includes an Elasticsearch index, a RabbitMQ-based task queue, an Nginx server, and a PostgreSQL database.

To set up and manage these services we employ the Kubernetes orchestration software and cloud technologies.

Releases

The default branch on GitHub is develop. This is the cutting edge development version. Please DO NOT use this in production, as it may have bugs that eat your data.

The master branch is the current stable release with all the latest bug fixes included. It will move to newer versions automatically. Follow this branch if you want to stay up to date in a production environment.

Each version has its own branch named by version number. At the time of writing, the latest release is 4.2.0, tagged from the series-4.2 branch. Follow this branch for your production installation and perform version upgrades manually.

Each bug fix or set of fixes bumps the minor version and each new release is tagged, eg. 4.2.1. Use tagged releases if you are paranoid about changes to the code you have not tested yourself.

To follow development, please see the contributing section below.
