Geographic gatherer is a part of Pytroll pytroll-collectors package. It is used to collect metadata of segmented polar satellite data for a geographical area and then publishing that collection to be processed by Trollflow2.

Configuration

To use the container, mount configuration files to /config directory and place the configuration for geographic-gatherer.py to /config/geographic_gatherer.ini. In addition environment variables are read from /config/env-variables and the file is thus required.

The strictly required variables are:

• TLES which points to the available orbital elements
• ADDRESSES which is a comma s eparated list of message publishers to connect to.
• PUBLISH_PORT - the port number for the publishet Posttroll messages

Note that nameserver usage is disabled and direct port connections are used instead.
