Bring WildWeb CAD Location data into the TAK System
DFPC provided Lambda ETLs are currently all written in NodeJS through the use of a AWS Lambda optimized Docker container. Documentation for the Dockerfile can be found in the AWS Help Center
npm install
Add a .env file in the root directory that gives the ETL script the necessary variables to communicate with a local ETL server.
When the ETL is deployed the ETL_API
and ETL_LAYER
variables will be provided by the Lambda Environment
{
"ETL_API": "http://localhost:5001",
"ETL_LAYER": "19"
}
To run the task, ensure the local CloudTAK server is running and then run with typescript runtime or build to JS and run natively with node
ts-node task.ts
npm run build
cp .env dist/
node dist/task.js
Deployment into the CloudTAK environment for configuration is done via automatic releases to the DFPC AWS environment.
Github actions will build and push docker releases on every version tag which can then be automatically configured via the CloudTAK API.
Non-DFPC users will need to setup their own docker => ECS build system via something like Github Actions or AWS Codebuild.
