Open Source Collaboration Discussion

[MAYANK12SHARMA]

Hi @peterdudfield,

I’ve set up the discussion chat where I can ask any questions if needed. I hope you’ll be able to help me resolve queries through this channel. I’m looking forward to collaborating on open-source projects within this community—it’s an exciting opportunity for me!

Thank you!

As I mentioned earlier, I’ve been stuck while setting up the nowcasting_datamodel database. Let me walk you through the steps I’ve followed so far to avoid any confusion:

1. Forked and Cloned the Repository
   First, I forked and then cloned the repository to my local system.

2. Opened the Project in VS Code
   After that, I opened the project in VS Code and launched the terminal.

3. Executed Commands to Set Up the Project
   I then started executing the commands to set up the project using the following command:

   docker-compose -f test-docker-compose.yml build

   output

Below is the screenshot for reference.

Ran the Following Commands and Encountered Issues

Once I did that, I tried running the following commands and encountered issues. Here are the corresponding screenshots:

1. docker-compose -f test-docker-compose.yml run postgre_pv

   
   

2. docker-compose -f test-docker-compose.yml run postgers

Same kind of output

3. docker-compose -f test-docker-compose.yml run datamodel

Hii @peterdudfield , please look the above comment i have mention all the important details, that i have followed.

Hii @peterdudfield, Thank you so much, sir, you’re truly great!

My email address is [email protected]. I’m excited to connect with you. Until Tuesday, I’ll do my best to set up the project. If I succeed, I’ll make sure to let you know.

No worries about Docker—if I manage to set up it locally, that’s great too. I also have a little surprise for you, which I’ll share when we connect.

Looking forward to speaking with you!

Hi @peterdudfield,

I’m excited to share that after a lot of hard work and extensive research, I’ve finally managed to connect the database, load the data, and successfully start the project! 🎉

It wasn’t an easy task, but I followed the steps carefully, did thorough troubleshooting, and took time to learn the details about the setup. Your guidance really helped me stay on track.

Looking forward to discussing other contributions.

[peterdudfield]

Thats great news!

If there is any further documentation that should go into that repo, then please let us know, and if possible add them to the repo with a PR

[MAYANK12SHARMA]

Yes, if you allow me, I would like to add a new files that outlines the complete database setup, along with some queries for generating fake data.

Hi @peterdudfield,

I was exploring Google Sumer of Code and noticed that this organization participated last year. I’m curious to know if the community plans to participate in Google summer of code 2025 as well?

Thank you!

[peterdudfield]

Yea, we plan to take part. More details to follow soon

[MAYANK12SHARMA]

Thanks @peterdudfield for informing.

[MAYANK12SHARMA]

Hi, I have submitted PR ( #248 ). Please take a look and let me know if any changes are needed.

Thanks

[MAYANK12SHARMA]

Hi @peterdudfield,

I’ve just resolved another issue and raised a pull request for it. Please take a look and let me know if any changes are required.

Additionally, I’ve made another update to avoid conflicts. There’s a file and folder named sites_toolbox, which could cause issues, so I’ve renamed them to prevent any conflicts.

Thank you!

Hi @peterdudfield ,

I’ve designed a new look for the website and would appreciate it if you could take a moment to review it. The previous design felt quite simple and didn’t include the organization’s logo, so I made these updates to improve it.

Please let me know your thoughts and whether we should move forward with updating the design.

Thank you!

[peterdudfield]

That looks great. Can you take any colours and styles from https://www.openclimatefix.org/?

[MAYANK12SHARMA]

I just wanted to ask one thing—should I change the logo to the original one (as shown below), or is the current one fine as it is?

[MAYANK12SHARMA]

I try to put it but everything become white. so i change it.
