Operation

This tool consists of two parts: a webservice and a backend batch report runner.

Webservice

On Toolforge, the repo is symlinked to ~/www/python/

To start the webservice, run webservice --backend=kubernetes python3.9 start

To stop the webservice, run webservice stop

Batch reports

On Toolforge, reports are run from a Kubernetes Job. A custom script is used to start the job. Any arguments passed to the start script will be passed to the report script.

See python3 src/sigprobs.py --help for CLI details.

To create or update a report, run ./sigprobs_start.py <site>

For example, a report for the English Wikipedia can be run with ./sigprobs_start.py en.wikipedia.org
