ceiba

🧬 🔭 🔬 Scientific simulations generate large volume of data that needs to be stored and processed by multidisciplinary teams across different geographical locations. Distributing computational expensive simulations among the available resources, avoiding duplication and keeping the data safe are challenges that scientists face every day.

Ceiba and its command line interface Ceiba-cli solve the problem of computing, storing and securely sharing computationally expensive simulation results. Researchers can save significant time and resources by easily computing new data and reusing existing simulation data to answer their questions.

See documentation and blog post.

Installation

The provisioning folder contains the instructions to deploy the web service using docker. Alternatively, you can deploy the web service locally using the following instructions:

🐳 Install Docker
🚀 Define a environment variable MONGO_PASSWORD with the database password. Now you can run the following command to start both the server and the mongodb services:
```
provisioning/start_app.sh
```
