This is the third beta release of wis2box. This release includes a number of enhancements and bugfixes.

Updates

• new experimental metadata UI for station (add station metadata editor UI #376) and discovery metadata (add discovery metadata editor UI #154) management. This functionality is added to the release to facilitate initial stakeholder feedback, and is disabled by default. Future releases will provide the UI by default with detailed documentation on use
• wis2box-api enhancements
  • add metadata validation workflow
  • upgrade to Elasticsearch 8
• validation checks on topic matching for discovery metadata and API managements workflows (bufr2geojson should throw error when ingesting data without corresponding topic_hierarchy in discovery metadata #431
• addition of data subscriber for integration of automated weather station (AWS) data (Ingest data received on MQTT #430)
• improved user documentation for managing environment variables and configuration settings

Migrating existing installations

The upgrade to Elasticsearch 8 will update to your API data. If you are using wis2box 1.0b2, then you should be able to upgrade without issue. For versions previous to 1.0b2, a two-step upgrade is required as follows once 1.0b3 is installed:

python3 wis2box-ctl.py stop
# download wis2box 1.0b3
vi docker-compose.yml  # change elasticsearch version from 8.6.2 to 7.17.0 to ensure a clean upgrade from 7.16.2
python3 wis2box-ctl.py start
python3 wis2box-ctl.py stop
vi docker-compose.yml  # change elasticsearch version from 7.17.0 to 8.6.2
docker volume rm wis2box_project_api-config
python3 wis2box-ctl.py start
