pyobs-archive

A webservice for an archive for astronomical images. Implements most of the interfaces defined by Las Cumbres Observatory, and optionally restricts frame access to project members via a pyobs-portal connection.

Documentation

Full installation (Docker Compose), configuration (every environment variable), architecture (how this fits into the rest of the pyobs fleet), and REST API reference: see docs/source/ (built with Sphinx — cd docs && uv run --with sphinx --with sphinx-rtd-theme make html).

Development

git clone https://github.com/pyobs/pyobs-archive.git
cd pyobs-archive
uv run manage.py migrate
uv run manage.py createsuperuser
uv run manage.py runserver
uv run manage.py test

See docs/source/development.rst for the full local-dev flow, and docs/source/installation.rst for the Docker Compose production setup.
