Static Website

Based on hugo, hosted on netlify. go to website-hugo and run the following commands:

• make build to build the website using hugo in a docker
• make watch to work in dev mode (hugo docker is started, changes are detected and rebuild is triggered automatically)

In dev mode the website is available at http://localhost:1313

Deployment of the website

Is triggered automatically with every push to master. Netlify builds the website (using hugo) and deploys it automatically after ever push.

Uplaod Function

The upload mechanism is based on Google Cloud Functions and stores the uploaded files to a secured Google Cloud Storage Bucket. The cloud function gets create permissions only and can't read the bucket. This ensures full decoupling and high security of all stored location data.

Generation of tokens

go to upload/src/covid-19-tracing-upload-function and execute make pwgen (pwgen is required on the system). 1000 tokens are written to tokens.json which has to be uploaded to the tokens bucket in Google Cloud. The function is fetching the tokens file while starting.

Data Handling

• make datasync downloads all json files from the gcp bucket (gcp access and gcloud utils required)
• make map runs the python file to generate the heatmap based on the json files in dir datafiles
• to adapt the python file run jupiter notebook and adapt the jupiter file. after that run make jupiter2python to generate the raw python file for command line execution
